What makes a good Personal Assistant?

Someone who respects their disabled employer's independence by:

Letting them make their own decisions (when to eat, what to wear, what time they go to bed...)

Letting them speak for themselves (even if people address you rather than them)

Letting them decide what is best for their lifestyle (even if it is different to how you lead yours)

Someone who is flexible and adaptable to change

Someone who respects their employer's privacy

Someone who is responsible and reliable

Someone who is caring and trustworthy
