Our son is a joyful, active boy who loves the outdoors — enjoying park visits, swimming, bird watching, and watching cars and planes.

He communicates through babbling, a few words in English and Punjabi, gestures, and is beginning to learn Makaton.
We are looking for someone who is:
✨ Smiley, bubbly, and chatty
✨ Patient, caring, and playful
✨ Ready to explore the world with him
✨ Committed to making him feel safe, understood, and supported
If you are enthusiastic, kind-hearted, and love working with children, we would love to hear from you.

- Eating and drinking assistance
