Job overview

Personal Assistant- Stranraer

Hi, we are two boys who live in Stranraer with my amazing mum. We are full of energy, and joy and we are looking for a kind, caring, and understanding personal assistant to help me explore the world to give my mum some well-deserved rest. This is a rewarding role for someone who loves to work with children and making a real difference to family life.

I'm a 6-year-old that has been diagnosed with Autism. That means I experience the world a little differently, and I need someone who can meet me where I am—with patience, empathy, and a sense of fun! I need someone to understand my communication needs as I sometimes become frustrated if I am not being understood. My brother is 5 years old who really enjoy going out on his scooter and going to the park.

Going on adventures on our Scooters

Playing with cars and tractors
