My Requirements

I am looking for a fun, lively but sensible person to spend regular time with my fun, lively but not always sensible 15 and 17 yr old autistic daughters. Own car and willingness to drive the girls to activities is essential. The candidate must be willing to have a DBS with Leicestershire County Council. Exact hours to be negotiated. We already have a team of 3 regular carers and they are all different but bring their own skills along.

My gorgeous girls love being outside, doing activities at places like the outdoor pursuits centre or going for walks. They like going shopping, going to the cinema and fast food! Like all young people they also like chilling out at home, watching tv, or whiling away hours on their phones if I let them. They also have school work and homework to do so they need someone with the ability to support with GCSE and A level homework.

I am looking for someone who will spend time with one or both of my girls, who is happy to be a role model for them and is able to set boundaries and to 'hold firm' as necessary. This person should be willing to spend time with the girls at home, to take one or both of them out or to come out with me and the girls if need be. My girls are both quite anxious and need a kind supportive person who will enjoy being with them.

The role includes light housework tasks, cooking some meals, basic pet care etc. Lover of animals is important as we have quite a few.
