Kind and gentle PA needed for SY3 area.

I am looking for a kind and gentle PA to help me get out and about to access activities/the outdoors. I am a wheelchair user with a neurological condition and I also have PTSD. I get frightened very easily and need someone gentle and caring who will understand and make me feel safe. I have dissociative episodes and will need support during non-epileptic seizures. I sometimes collapse sideways and will need help to hold my head up, if that happens.
I am twenty-seven and married. My husband manages my care and we feel we need more support to make daily life more manageable. I especially need support to help me leave the house to access mental health care and (the wider world outside my door!) during the day while my husband is working. My husband must work from home because I can't be left alone. Ideally, if I become comfortable with a PA, it would enable him to occasionally go into the office, which would require more hours of support.

I love the outdoors and would love help to access my garden. Help to plant flowers and care for them would be amazing as well. I would love support to get out on walks, including up Lyth Hill or at national trust properties.

I would also love support to bake. I can't access my kitchen but would manage better with support.

I enjoy reading, especially science fiction and fantasy, and love writing. I am currently working on the manuscript for a science fiction novel set in a dystopian world where humanity speaks one language. I am very interested in linguistics and what it might look like in the future, especially if language suppression is involved.
