Female Personal Assistant Needed for 8-Year-Old Girl in Kode, Awake Night, 75%

We are looking for a female assistant for our daughter – a wise, strong, and beloved 8-year-old who needs security, presence, and a watchful eye around the clock.

Here you will have a job where you make a real difference – both in small and big ways.

About the Job:

You will work in our home in Kode, where you will become an integral part of our daily life. This is a role for someone who is attentive, secure, and has an innate radar for others' needs – especially when it comes to monitoring breathing and reading subtle signals. You need to be able to make quick decisions when necessary, but also have the patience to wait, follow along, and adapt to our daughter's rhythm.

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience working with children, preferably as a personal assistant
• Knowledge of e.g. tube feeding, suctioning, cough machine, respiratory monitoring, or epilepsy
• Attentiveness to children's ways of communicating without words
• The ability to blend into a family with siblings, routines, and a lot of love
• Willingness to travel occasionally – we cover the costs

Requirements:

• Driver's license + own car, as we live in the countryside outside Kode, without public transport
• Good physical condition – some lifting is involved
• Very good Swedish in both spoken and written form

The Practical Details

• Night shifts are between 9-12 hours long, day shifts are somewhat shorter.
• The girl has assistance around the clock, so it is important that you can be flexible
• The position starts as an hourly employment, so we can get to know each other, and if we get along, it may transition to a fixed-term employment as long as the assistance assignment lasts with a working degree.

Employment Type:

You start as an hourly employee. If it clicks – which we hope – it can become a fixed-term employment as long as the assignment lasts with a working degree of 75%.

Person over Paper:

We value your attitude more than your CV. What matters is who you are in the meeting with our daughter. We conduct interviews continuously – please send your application as soon as possible.
