Job Purpose:

I attend school until about 4pm during the week I enjoy activities like playing with dolls, scooting and bike rides, making slime or listening to music . I love animals, especially horses and dogs and have a little dog at home.
It can take me a while to build trust with new people, so I am looking for a phased start where to begin with my mum joins us until I feel confident.

I am flexible with which day/time this is and am happy to discuss this with candidates but will need someone who is able to be consistent once the agreement has been made. I will also want more hours in the school holidays to do more fun activities and days out.
