  Description

  🏡 Description
  
  Kia ora and welcome! I’m a single mum living on the beautiful Northern Gold Coast with my little boy who is turning 4 in August. He is an energetic and affectionate boy who has autism and some speech delays, but is a loving, cuddly, and happy child who brings joy to everyone around him. We are looking for someone to become a part of our small but vibrant family and help us with daily routines, especially when I’m working.
  
  I work for emergency services and work an 8 week rotating roster mainly consisting of a 4 on, 4 off shift pattern (2 x 12 hour days, then 2 x 12 hour nights then 4 days off). This means your help will mostly be needed during those work shifts. My son attends daycare full time Monday to Friday (typically 9am–4:30pm), so I’m looking for someone who can help with morning and evening routines on my workdays and provide full day care on the occasional weekend when I’m rostered on shift.
  
  💛 Why You’ll Love It Here
  
  We live in a spacious dual-living home with a large yard, fire pit and open space in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of parks and family-friendly spots nearby. We also have a large music room with pianos, guitars, drum kits and PA system for any music lovers.
  
  You’ll have your own bedroom on our side of the house and share a bathroom with my son. On the other side of the home live my sister and my best friend with her four cats. If you have allergies or not comfortable with pets, our side of the house is pet free. For those who love animals the cats are always available for snuggles.
  
  My son loves having live in aunties who are heavily involved in his life and will still be volunteering to assist with daycare drop offs and bedtime routines while you are around.
  
  We’re a close-knit, multicultural household with Māori, Samoan, and Australian heritage and we proudly embrace neurodiversity, Christian values, and LGBTQIA+ inclusion.

  Autres infos...

  The Gold Coast is one of Australia's most exciting and beautiful places to live. With stunning beaches, world famous surf, vibrant markets, theme parks, hiking trails, and a relaxed lifestyle, there's always something fun to do in your free time. The public bus network services our neighbourhood giving you access to major shopping centres and the train station. We’re flexible with how you manage your time outside of the key help days and still have some flexibility with the 4 on 4 off roster if you wish to travel a little further on your days off. We are half way between Brisbane and Gold Coast airports.
