Hello,
We are looking for a caring, patient, and reliable carer to support our son, Artie.
Artie is a strong-minded, curious 4-year-old who loves the outdoors, books, boxes, water play, baking, and trains. He was born with a genetic neuro-developmental disorder and has global developmental delay. He is non-verbal, has cortical vision impairment (CVI), and low muscle tone, so he benefits from some additional support. Experience with children with additional needs is welcome but not essentialโfinding the right person who genuinely connects with Artie is most important to us.
Artie will be starting at a special school in Balwyn next year to support his communication needs. He has been wonderfully integrated into his mainstream kinder and childcare over the past four years, and weโre looking to ensure a smooth, positive transition.
What weโre hoping for -
Weโre looking for someone who can assist with:
- Morning routines
- School drop-offs and pick-ups
- After-school support, including help with his therapy programs, until we are home from work around 6pm
- Light meal preparation and light housework
- Additional support during school holidays
Artie has a little sister, Mira (17 months), who will be in childcare during the week.
We are full-time working parents, and with our first child starting school, weโre hoping to find the right person to become a consistent, supportive presence in our family routine.
If this sounds like something you might be interested in, weโd love to hear from you.
