Vacancy Details

Description

I am an 13 year old boy living in the Pontardawe area. I am a very quiet person and can be a little subdued at times; other times when I feel really happy I can be more vocal.

I love to listen intently to stories and I enjoy watching cartoons. I love listening to music and I adore being sung to (I can sometimes find this funny too). I really enjoy being massaged, and regularly enjoy foot and hand massages.
