We are now seeking a personal assistant at 60-100% for a very active young client. Urgent Need

Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability, personal chemistry, and ability to collaborate. You are a wonderful and child-loving person who is also comfortable working independently.

Your workplace is where the customer is located; the starting point is his home in Linköping. You will also accompany him to leisure activities and outings. The work may involve travel with the customer and his family.

Meritorious:
- Previous experience in care or working with children
I am a 13-year-old boy and I live with my mom, dad, and younger sibling. During the day I go to school, but in the afternoons and evenings as well as on weekends I need assistance. As my assistant, I want you to enjoy moving around, being outdoors, and also playing and having fun. I like when things happen, so it's good if you're creative and come up with activities and new ideas. I also want you to be positive and able to help me learn things. With me it's usually full speed ahead and I love jumping on a trampoline, swimming, listening to music, swinging, playing with my siblings, and going for shorter walks in the forest and around the neighborhood.
I have cognitive, autism, and ADHD disabilities which means I don't speak with words and need help with all daily life activities as well as social interaction and communication. I can walk but sometimes need support to get around, and when I need to travel longer distances I use a wheelchair. Sometimes I can be extra rambunctious and active and then I run, so you need to be quite fast to keep up and make sure I don't put myself in danger. I also need a lot of active help with eating, using the toilet/changing diapers, hygiene, getting dressed, and playing.
