Looking for Carer/Support worker to help care for 12 year old girl

Debra from Forrest Hill

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

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
