We are now looking for a warm, caring, and committed personal assistant for our amazing elementary school-aged child who has multiple disabilities and attends school.
This is a job for you if you enjoy working with people, value close relationships, and want to be an important part of a child's daily life and development.
ABOUT THE JOB
The position is full-time, during daytime hours, and primarily during school time.
You will be close to the child throughout the day and provide important support at school and in situations where they need help and security.
The work includes:
providing support and assistance based on their individual needs
being present during the school day
assisting with personal care and practical tasks
creating a sense of security, participation, and joy
following their routines and communication methods
being attentive to their signals and needs
working collaboratively with family, school, and others around them
WHO IS THE CHILD?
Above all, they are a unique little person with an enormous zest for life.
They are happy, social in their own way, and have a fantastic ability to spread energy to those around them. They love when people are present, secure, and genuinely interested in them.
They have multiple disabilities, so it's important that you feel comfortable working with a child who has significant needs and can maintain calm even when situations become more challenging.
You don't need to know everything from the start.
What matters most is that you have a warm heart, respect for their dignity, patience, and a willingness to get to know them.
We will teach you what you need to know.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS:
secure and responsible
warm, calm, and responsive
patient and flexible
respectful and empathetic
comfortable with personal care
good at collaborating
able to build trust easily
sees possibilities rather than limitations

Experience with personal assistance, autism, epilepsy, or multiple disabilities is a plus, but personal suitability carries significant weight.
WHAT WE CAN OFFER
A job where you get to follow an amazing child's daily life, development, and all the small moments that matter most.
You become an important part of their team and help make their days secure, fun, meaningful, and filled with participation.
This isn't just a job.
It's the opportunity to make a real difference in a child's life.
