  Description

  I need support to look after my high functioning (Asperger’s) trans daughter 11year old. Her school hours are 9-1pm.
  She is mature beyond her years with a dry sense of humour she’s excellent company !
  I work in London so need care for my daughter Phelix until I return early evening from work.
  Afternoon activities can be anything that you decide is of interest to you both, could even be walk on the beach.
  She loves gentian impact, anime and gaming left to her own devices would do that 24-7
  I have set up a registered charity so if it’s of interest you could work helping in the mornings whilst phelix is at school.
  We are looking for someone to be part of the family and give each other new experiences and have fun learning new skills. We love food, creative activities my belief is life is about the “moments” and people you meet.
  Brighton is a very vibrant place, LGBTQ+ friendly we have excellent connections to train station and buses, bicycles, 2 kayaks, candy floss machine and many other things to keep entertained.
  The house has 3 bedrooms, separate bedrooms and toilets, sunroom, garden living room, dining room and nice kitchen to relax in. Big entrance hall so lots of places to be together or have quiet/private time which is important.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You’ll be spending time with an exceptionally funny young person with a very unique view on life. Asperger’s is high functioning autism which in our case means if we are interested in something we learn every detail. My own skill set is varied from sales, micropigmentation, Training with a strong emphasis on the importance of emotional impact. I enjoy the challenge of helping other fulfill their potential and really enjoy stimulating conversation and goals to achieve.
  I think the benefits of staying with us will be able to discuss what your interests are and as a team it’s give and take.

  What else ...

  Easy access into Brighton and beaches, good bus service. 1 hour to London. Huge amount to do depending on your interests there is something for everyone.
  I’m very proactive and like action so a self starter with a creative mind would fit well. I’m not particularly structured so someone who is would be welcome as I said I envisage this experience as one that we all grow as people from our time together. I’m tidy not obsessively so as I like a happy house more than a show house. I’m direct and like clear communication as well all be getting to know each other so feeling able to express how you feel is important so we get it right . Phelix has her ways she’ll be clear on when she wants company or not, chatting or quiet time again I’m relaxed and go with the flow
