Assistant Needed for a Curious Seven-Year-Old

Hello! I am a calm, social, and curious seven-year-old girl living with my mom, dad, and little brother in Midsommarkransen. I am now looking for another assistant for my super team, could it be you?

I enjoy spending time with my family, taking it easy, going on small adventures in everyday life, and feeling the wind in my hair when I swing at the playground. A walk that ends at a cozy café is also never wrong.

A large part of my days is filled with playful training, and that is something I really enjoy! I train best when it is fun, varied, and when someone encourages me with energy and imagination. Therefore, I am looking for an assistant who dares to take initiative, play, come up with silly ideas, and make training the highlight of the day. Sometimes I also go riding or to my parasport school, and I would love for you to join me and support me.

I need support in most things I do, and I take my time to feel safe with new people. I understand spoken language, but I do not have my own speech. Instead, I communicate with sign language (TAKK), a PODD, and other small signals that you will soon learn to interpret. I also have a visual impairment, so it is important that you enjoy describing the world for me - to provide visual descriptions of big and small things so that I have the chance to discover all the exciting things around me.

If you are a person who likes to create safety, take initiative, be playful, and join both small and big adventures, then I believe we can become a really great team.

I would prefer that you have experience with children and work as a personal assistant, resource in school, or similar.

Scope

Hourly employment of about 25 hours/month. Working hours are scheduled for one afternoon/evening per week after my school (Wednesdays 15:45-19:15) and about every other weekend. During holidays and summer, there is an opportunity to work more.

Start Date

As agreed.
