About Me

Hi, I'm a single mum to a 6.5 year old boy, Musa, who has autism and ADHD. I'm his full time carer and looking for someone who can provide casual but long term childcare in our home.
I'll usually be at home myself, but need someone to keep Musa busy while I attend remote meetings or hearings, batch cook, or get other things done around the house.

A little about Musa:

He's a very playful, active and curious little boy who loves movement, numbers, puzzles, games and learning. He's like a 4 year old in a 6 year old's body in some ways, but academically he is very clever. He makes his own silly jokes, is curious about absolutely everything and his biggest behavioural problem is probably destroying my house.

He knows how to play some games socially but struggles with social interaction and doesn’t like losing or failing at anything. He also has a language disorder, which we're working on, and learns language best through adults naturally narrating what they're doing rather than asking him lots of questions.

He masks a lot and has selective mutism in front of people he is not familiar with. He can take a while to warm up to new people, so I'm looking for someone patient who is happy to build a relationship with him at his own pace.

I always have plenty of toys, games and learning resources at home, so there will always be something to do. He also needs regular movement breaks between activities.
