My son is a happy, content boy who loves school and is becoming more independent every day. He has a great sense of humour – a real cheeky chappy – and people are naturally drawn to him. When he’s engaged, he has loads of fun and can be really productive.

He absolutely loves being outdoors and is especially interested in nature and birds. One of his favourite things to do is jump on the trampoline – he uses it more than any other toy! He’s happy in his own company but also enjoys being around others.

If you’re reliable, kind, and enjoy spending time outdoors, this could be a great fit. We’d love to hear from you!
