Vacancy Details

I am a very happy 9 year old girl living in the Sandfields area of Port Talbot.  My favourite things to do are to go swimming and do painting. I am non-verbal but I understand everything that is said to me and I am non-mobile. I enjoy being outdoors rather than indoors. Being active is something I enjoy as well as doing my favourite activities.  I enjoy my food and have a really good appetite. Peppa pig is my favourite thing to watch before I go to bed. The only thing I don’t like is unexpected noises.  These can upset me.
