Vlog | How my Personal Assistant (carer) supports and enables me [CC]

This is the video I wanted to make for a while and I know it’s been much requested by those who check out my channel.

Diane, my carer or PA (Personal Assistant) as I refer to her as. I filmed this vlog over the course of three days to give a better idea of the wide range of ways in which Diane supports and enables me to live my life.

I hope you find this vlog insightful and it gives you an idea of the role that PAs play in supporting those with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

In total honesty I feel that PAs and carers are under recognised for the vital work that they do every single day for so many people around the world. In the UK I find it hard to think that people like Diane only get paid minimum wage when there are people who working on a supermarket checkout earning more.

I did feel quite vulnerable filming this but I feel that it’s important to show the reality of life especially the reality of living with disabilities and chronic health problems and how it affects me and the support that I need to assist and enable me to live out my life.

Thank you for watching this video and if you would like to keep up to date with future videos it would be lovely to see you as a new subscriber to my channel.

If you have any questions either for me or Diane please leave them in the comments below. Also if you want to know more about some of the aids I use featured in this video again please leave a comment below.
