About Me
I am a warm, sensitive, very friendly autistic 8-year-old girl with ADHD, seeking a Personal Assistant to support me with stimulating and playful activities during school holidays (13 weeks of the year). I enjoy being taken to the promenade in my pushchair, playing with toys at home, soft play, climbing and swimming. As I enjoy physical activities, a good level of fitness may be required to take me out and keep up with me. Driving will likely be required for activities outside the home, so a full driving licence and access to a car with appropriate business insurance cover is highly desirable. I require 1:1 supervision at all times to keep me safe.

To provide support in relation to existing favoured activities, such as going to the promenade (likely being pushed in a pushchair), playing at home, climbing, soft play, and swimming.
