Hi, my name is Sharon.

I am 53 years old and I live in the Falkirk area.
I like listening to music, having a good laugh and enjoy watching Netflix.
I always like to look good. I get my hair, nails and eyebrows done regularly and I like to wear trendy clothes.

I am looking for support workers who are confident in their role and are caring and patient,
I like down to earth people and I am looking for lifelong support workers that are willing to commit to the challenges I face daily with my mental health.
I receive 24-hour support and need encouragement to participate in daily tasks. At times I need support in all aspects of my life.
I need my workers to be in tune with my thoughts and feelings which can change daily.
