PA needed for 27 year old with Down Syndrome who loves baking and art. (SY5)

We are looking for a local PA to the Pontesbury area if possible, preferably able to drive to come and support a very friendly, outgoing girl with Down Syndrome. She loves to be busy, she's cheerful and a real character with a good sense of humour. She's smart enough to give you a run for your money and will test any boundaries, but complies well when there's clarity to what can and can't be done. We would like a PA to try and involve her locally in art projects as she has an artistic interest, so someone interested in art would be great. She enjoys walks, especially in town when there's a charity shop to visit or something to buy (shopping). She enjoys baking which can be done at our home if needed.

Friday and Saturday could be a couple of hours each day to begin with. We have a local cafe which is open in the mornings, and a library in our village which can be a good place to do things. She needs good supervision as she has little or no road safety - someone who is firm and kind. For the next couple of weeks her regular PA is on holiday, so Monday and Tuesday would be available.
