Meet Carrie
Carrie is a bright and beautiful 13-year-old girl with a fun personality and a love for music and sensory play. She communicates through facial expressions and vocalisations, and she absolutely lights up when people engage with her. Carrie enjoys trips to the park, seaside outings, and lunch at local restaurants, especially in the afternoons when she’s most alert.
Carrie has complex medical needs due to brain injuries at birth, including epilepsy and PEG feeding. She requires full assistance with all aspects of daily living and personal care. She’s home-schooled, and we’re looking for someone who can support her development during occasional day shifts.
