| Hi there! I'm a 21-year-old student studying my final year of a Speech, Hearing, and Language Sciences degree. I really enjoy working with children and am eager to help out in any way I can! I am more than happy to provide assistance with transportation, housekeeping, cooking, tutoring, special needs care, and all-around companionship. I've done some volunteer work overseas, teaching children English, as well as worked with children with disabilities in the past. This realm of service is something I'm really passionate about and hope to pursue in my professional career. I'm a fun, easy-going person with flexible hours and keen to start ASAP. Thanks for reading my profile :)

| Hello, My name is Loren and I am a mother of four children. Two of whom have Autism and ADHD. I have grown up with a brother who also has ADHD and have had the immense privilege of having a variety of friends growing up throughout high school that had epilepsy, or cerebral palsy. We still have contact now over 20 years later. I have also cared extensively for children who have had a range of special needs over the past 20 years and currently care adhoc for a family with a special needs child once a month also. My children who are special needs are currently 13 and 8 years old respectively. The care of children with additional needs is considered a privilege to see them grow and learn new skills and become comfortable with trusting their carer. I very much have valued the time that I have had with each family that has allowed me this privilege in the past to care for their children when the time has come. Their care and safety is always my highest priority when looking after any children but especially our special needs children.

| Hi all. My name is Venera, I am 27 yrs old and I am working at Northern School for Autism in Melbourne, but relocating to Sydney in a week. I’ve been working with ASD students for nearly 3 yrs now. Throughout my time as a Teacher Aide at Northern School for Autism in Reservoir, I have demonstrated the capacity to undertake a variety of routine support tasks in a range of areas. I always approach my tasks with enthusiasm and a desire to do them well. I take pride in my work, have strong knowledge of autism and am passionate about enabling students to achieve their personal and educational potential so as to be valued contributors to family and community life. Each of these kids has their own strengths, abilities and interests and they all deserve to reach their full potential. It is really fulfilling being around these amazing kids and giving them the support they need, building their strengths and skills to promote development. As we all know, it can be quite challenging at times but watching these kids grow and improve day to day is so rewarding-just a nice reminder that we are all doing a great job.
