We’re a fun family with two beautiful boys aged 6 and 8. Our kiddos are neurodivergent, they attend the local Catholic school (200m from our home), AND they're full of life, curiosity, and a lot of energy! Husband and I are Canadian expats and full time professionals who mostly work in the city or offsite; work committments and the absence of informal support in Melbourne have faciliated our need to search for the right person to work with our family. We're flexible and easy going, and love sharing family trips and excursions with our boys.
We're looking for the right person to help the children thrive, engage them, and give them a chance to chill out after school, with plenty of giggles and smiles along the way. Experience working with autistic and/or children with ADHD is ideal; if you are warm and patient, our boys love making connections with adults - and the adults often find a relationship with our children rewarding!
Duties:
School pick-up; car not required
Light housework (mostly just tidying up, maybe folding clothes in a quiet moment)
Preparing dinner (we love simple, tasty meals, often using meal kits - but would be happy to shop for your recipes)
Adhoc depending-on-the-vibe activities might include homework, supervising the use of educational apps, practicing piano, occasional outing to the library, the opp shop, park, etc.
