I am looking for someone who is softly spoken, kind, and has a calming nature. You will need to have an understanding of neurodivergence and experience working with neurodivergent (ND) people, as well as individuals with mental health issues. Patience and a sense of humour are essential, as you will be supporting not only me but also my two ND children and our small dog.

You will also help with showering support, decluttering the home, and cooking. Contingency hours will be needed to accommodate appointments and other unexpected needs.

  • Attend art/yoga classes for mental well-being 
  • Assist with domestic tasks such as cooking, organising and maintaining, and shopping for items that cannot be sourced online 
  • Offer showering support as needed 
  • Assist with cooking and meal preparation 
  • Flexible hours to accommodate appointments and other unexpected needs
