Dear Care Professional, We are a family of six and are currently experiencing our first year with me (Jess) working full time. We are looking for a Care Professional who would come in October/November when I start my new job. We live in Canberra (Dunlop), close to the brindabellas and great walking tracks, shops and public transport. Our family consists of L (4 years old), E (7 years old), V (9 years old), L (almost 11 years old), Myself (Jess, 29 years old) and my future husband/not the kids bio dad Eliot (42 years old). My partner and I both work full-time, which is the reason we need someone to look after the kids before and after school. I work in Real Estate and Eliot is a business Analyst. We work regular business hours and are out of our home 8:30am-5:30pm, Monday- Friday. L is a bit delayed due to the diagnosis of ASD level 3 and he is non verbal. He got his diagnosis when he didn't talk at 2 years of age. It means that he had some autistic symptoms, primarily communication. He is cuddly, sweet, playful and very happy. L receives speech therapy, which is 25 minutes away from our home, as well as special education at home once a fortnight- we manage this however. V, L and E have no problems, talk a lot, are funny, loving, love cuddles, hugs, and kisses, and loves animals. E has ADHD so has a lot of energy and loves to engage, amd also needs regular prompting to go to the bathroom, clean her hands afterwards and bathe. Our Care Professional's responsibilities will include driving the kids to school/childcare and preparing breakfast and their lunchboxes, playing with them, keeping them engaged, talking to them, preparing after school snacks or dinner, and feeding them. She/he will clean up after them and after preparing the meals (putting dishes away and keeping kitchen clean), and take care of their laundry. We have a fortnightly house cleaner so cleaning duties are not a priority. Our Care Professional's work hours would typically take place Monday-Friday, before and after school (approx 4 hours per day) We also have 3 friendly dogs so being a dog person is a must. We hope to hear back from you soon. Please let me know if you are interested in talking to me over the phone. Sincerely, Jess
