This role requires a compassionate and patient individual to support an 11-year-old boy with autism and OCD. The ideal candidate should be calm, understanding, and able to engage with the child's interests, which include gaming, particularly Roblox, YouTube, and anime. Experience or knowledge of autism spectrum disorders or similar challenges is important to provide appropriate support and create a safe, predictable environment that fosters comfort and trust. The helper must be able to set clear, gentle boundaries while maintaining a friendly and encouraging demeanor. Sensitivity to sensory issues, specifically avoiding strong scents, is essential due to the child's sensitivities. The position involves working primarily in the child's home for four hours weekly, focusing on companionship, light meal preparation, and encouraging occasional outdoor activities such as short trips using a cargo bike. Strong interpersonal skills, curiosity about building a positive relationship, and a willingness to engage with the child's world are key. This entry-level role does not require formal education but values personal qualities such as patience, empathy, and reliability. The helper should be adaptable, able to motivate the child gently, and committed to fostering enjoyable and secure experiences.
