We are seeking a personal assistant to care for our 5-year-old nonverbal autistic son during school holidays. As I work from home, my son can be cared for in our home environment or taken out for activities such as trips to the park and other outings. He needs personal care, including feeding and nappy changes, which is essential as our son is not, yet toilet trained. I am seeking a dedicated and compassionate individual to support my son as a personal assistant to help enhance his well-being. My son is a delightful individual who could use assistance in getting out of the house and engaging in activities. He holds a season pass for the Roar dinosaur adventure in Norwich, with a +1 symbol on his access card.
