I am a 33 year old man and my independence is very important to me. I am a very driven person; I like to exercise to stay fit and healthy, including weightlifting and cardio. I like to cook when I can and I like to eat healthily, my favourites are beef, salmon and prawns. It is very important to me that my kitchen is kept to a certain standard and that the washing up is completed, as I struggle to do this myself.

I enjoy amine and have hopes in the future to do holographic and 3D art.

I need a PA who is a great communicator and will help me take my medication daily and collect medication when required. I also require help with cleaning, including sweeping the floor and maintaining the kitchen and the bathroom.
