Personal Assistant 150364

About our son:
I am a friendly and affectionate 16 year old boy, who enjoys learning about flags and history – I even have my own flag book that I created. I also enjoy music and animation, as well as LEGO and Thomas the Tank. I am verbal but have some communication difficulties, so will need someone who is patient and understanding as I get my words out.

About you:
The ideal PA for our son is someone who is kind, reliable, and enthusiastic. We are looking for someone who is active and enjoys a variety of activities. We are looking for someone who will take a keen interest in learning about our son, such as his likes and dislikes, and take into account what is important to him.
Experience of providing support and care is preferable but not essential.
