We all need supportsto make life, work, and community participation possible. My primary support is other people.
If you're an early-bird or night owl (or somewhere in between) who enjoys both indoor and outdoor activities and is looking to earn some extra money with a job that fits your schedule, consider becoming a personal assistant.
I am a 53-year-old woman with cerebral palsy who needs assistance with my activities of living (e.g., getting up and dressed, toileting, showering, cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.). Sometimes I need help directly, other times I need help caring for my husband, stepson, service dog, or the family cats.
