About Me

I am 6 years old. Non verbal and extremely energetic. I am very tall & strong for my age. I do not understand danger and will often act instinctively without any awareness of the danger I may cause or put myself in. I love to swim, play on the swings at the park, going out for food, being pushed in the shopping trollies but jumping on trampolines is my favourite. I do not enjoy play centres or socialising with other children.

I often elope and will look for chances to be able to escape. I must not be left alone for even a single moment as I will run away.

I have a huge hyper-fixation with mobile phones and tablets. I will become extremely upset and dysregulated if you use a phone in front of me and I am not aloud to use it too. It is important you DO NOT get your phone out in front of me for the duration of our time together.

I love to be tickled and chased and love cuddles and holding hands. I am very cheeky and have the most contagious smile and twinkle in my eye. I create really strong bonds with adults I trust and can’t wait to share my love with someone new.

Specific Requirements

Strong communication skills, including non-verbal communication awareness Playful, engaging, and energetic attitude.

The ideal candidate will be physically fit, patient, punctual, physically active, calm under pressure, and confident managing dysregulation with consistency and care. Reliability, strong safeguarding awareness, and a warm, engaging approach are essential qualities for this role.

A strong boundary around technology is essential. Individual has a significant fixation on phones and tablets and may become distressed if devices are visible but not accessible. The PA must avoid using personal devices in the child’s presence during working hours.
