Description

We are looking for someone with a pedagogical flair who wants to work with a 13-year-old girl both at school and at home. The job involves being the girl's support in all daily situations. The girl is a cheerful and energetic young lady who knows what she likes. She has multiple disabilities and is training to learn to walk and communicate with pictures and signs. She enjoys school, especially her friends, sports, and swimming lessons. At school, she needs someone who can help her engage with the lessons in an interactive and playful way so that she can benefit from them in the best way possible. At home, she enjoys going out into nature to look at animals or motor vehicles, playing around, and never says no to jumping on the trampoline or swinging. Hearing you read is great, or you can sing together. Playing with the iPad is another favorite. She is tube-fed and receives inhalations, and at night she sometimes needs oxygen as needed. Here, you will have the opportunity to see both yourself and the girl develop, and we can offer a competitive salary for the right person.
