Description of Individual :
|
A bright, caring 6 year old little girl who is on the Autism Spectrum. With a big imagination, she has a special interest in dinosaurs, enjoys being outside, picking flowers, birdwatching, taking care of horses and loves books and being read to! She works really hard at school to be involved socially and sometimes she feels quite burnt out at the end of the day. This is why we feel the 1-1 care would be beneficial to her as opposed to another childcare setting. |
Worker's Role :
|
We are looking for someone who likes to interact in play and enjoys the little things like our daughter does. Duties include: Bus stop pick-up, providing a snack, interacting in play, walks, picnics. Our daughter is verbal and is good at communicating her needs. She requires prompts to let her know what to expect/what is happening next to make transitions easier for her. |
Availability :
|
We are looking for someone who can: - Be available Monday through Friday, after school hours. - Arrive at the bus stop at 2:15pm - Parent will arrive home approx. 5:15pm |
