Introduction
I am a 11-year-old who needs some help please. I have ADHD and a working diagnosis of Autism - the applicant would therefore need to have knowledge or experience in these areas. I am well behaved, and my peers say I am nice and friendly. This role is for weekends as I am too tired after school. Maybe in the school holidays we can do things as well. I would prefer a man if possible. Being able to drive is desirable but is NOT essential - the right applicant is more important. A full driving license would be needed with business use on your insurance to be able to use the vehicle within work hours.
