Make a difference with your strong interpersonal skills
Part time work in Browns Bay
Support a young person with a disability
Are you empathetic and confident?
A family in Browns Bay on the North Shore are looking for someone to support their 12-year-old daughter after school. For two or three afternoons initially, the role is to do some baking together and help with homework. This cute and curious child loves to ask all the questions and will love to have you there for her support. She loves games, baking and going to the playground and her disability can mean she doesn’t know when it’s time to finish.
She needs reassurance and clear answers to her questions. Your interpersonal skills and strong boundaries mean you are very aware of how you interact with her and guide conversations that won’t get misinterpreted or confused. Structure, consistency and ability to stick to the plan are crucial for success. This may suit a confident mature person with the ability to understand the bigger picture.
Are you up for the challenge to support this young girl to be successful? You will need a full licence and a car. Pay is $30 ph.

Woodfires safety tips
Here are three top safety tips for using woodfires:
Regular Chimney Maintenance:
Ensure your chimney is cleaned and inspected at least once a year by a professional. This helps prevent creosote buildup, which can cause chimney fires
Use the Right Wood:
Burn only dry wood. Avoid burning green or wet wood, as it produces more creosote and smoke
Install Safety Alarms:
Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Make sure these detectors are tested regularly and have fresh batteries
