Looking for Carer/Support worker to help care for 12 year old girl
We are looking for a person to help our family and split the shifts with a student we have currently.
We live in Forrest Hill and have 12 year old twin girls, one has Spastic Dystonic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. She is in a wheelchair and needs help with transfers and other personal cares. She is a happy girl, always trying to do everything herself and has a great sense of humor. Our other daughter is an energetic girl that loves to play sports.
We are looking for someone to share the role with our current student/carer and do around 12.5 hours a week (half of the 25hours a week role). You would split the shifts on school day mornings, which is from 7-9am where you would help with dressing, feeding, getting her ready for school and some help around the home. Also you would split the afternoon shifts, which are from 3:30pm - 6:30pm doing some physical activities and exercises, read, play, feed, showering and general help.
Please contact me for further information on 021 412 633. Thanks
