You will also be actively involved in engaging her through play-based and sensory activities, helping to create a positive, nurturing, and enjoyable environment during each visit.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is patient, caring, and enthusiastic, and who can quickly build a trusting and supportive relationship while making a genuine difference in her life on a flexible, ad hoc basis.
