Do you have some spare time in the afternoons or during the school holidays? We are looking for a PA to support our 5 year old son so that he can get out and enjoy some fun activities. He adores the water and loves swimming, soft play and role play/dressing up. He would enjoy being taken out for the day to places like the Sea Life Centre or possibly the Zoo.
My son has a ‘love for life’ and finds happiness and excitement in everyday activities. He absolutely loves a cuddle and is very affectionate child. Due to him being Autistic and non verbal he can become frustrated when something isn’t going the way he wants it to or he doesn’t want to do something. He has a pushchair that he feels comfortable in and we use reins when walking about. Please get in touch if you feel that you could support us on a regular or casual basis, we would love to hear from you!
