At the top of the three-storey house, with a fantastic view of Hudiksvallsfjärden, lives Ylva, 24. Here she lives a nice life with rich content, despite its limitations. Her talented assistant group - which has been nominated for assistant of the month for August - does a fantastic job for Ylva so that she can live like any young girl. It can be seen in Ylva, who has had her own home for just over a year, that she enjoys her assistants. Malin Westlin Rissanen, 21, is the youngest in the group but has already had time to work with Ylva for two years. Ulrika Linde and Monica Nylén, who have worked together before, started in August last year and in October Andrea Wadén came after maternity leave. - So now we are a wonderful group that is perfect for Ylva and her needs. - We think that the job as a personal assistant is among the best jobs available. You develop as a human being, says a united group. Sometimes it can be a little lonely, but when we go to the day activities at the school in Norrbo, three days a week, we meet other assistants that we can ventilate with and our own small group gathers once a month. Most of the group intends to continue working as personal assistance for a long time. Malin, who is young, thrives very well but is still thinking about maybe reading further later. - In day care, Ylva has, among other things, gymnastics, and there she also meets many of her friends. Sometimes it can also be a nice walk or a horseback ride in Norrbo's beautiful surroundings. We have lunch in the school canteen where they serve good homemade food and home-baked bread. But sometimes we also eat out at a restaurant, says Ulrika Linde. Here at home we read, do crafts, bake and cook. This weekend we are going to Länsdans at Kulturhuset in Hudiksvall. - We have learned how Ylva works and how she wants it. It is wonderful to see her smile when she is happy, and she likes to crawl close and wants to be hugged, says Malin. And sometimes she actually says "Like you". Ylva likes to talk but usually communicates in other ways than through direct speech. - Qualities that are good to have when working as a personal assistant is to always be able to stay calm, be patient and stress-resistant. It is important to be able to disconnect from everyday life at home and just focus on Ylva's needs and well-being, the group says in unison. - A-Assistance is a good employer that gives us good backup, training and support if we need it, the group says. So far, we have taken a basic course, conflict management, lifting course and fire training. This is the nomination for the Assistants of the Month: “It has now been a year since our daughter Ylva moved to her own home with assistance. It is with great joy that we see that Ylva enjoys her life and her assistants. With great sensitivity, competence, initiative in our assistants, Ylva gets the support she needs to have a good life. You are the best, think Ylva's parents Susanne Park and Sigurd Melin. ” A-Assistance congratulates on the nomination and on a good job!
