Our lovely nanny/carer is moving on, and so we are looking for another experienced nanny / carer who may be looking for permanent part-time work, who specialises in working with children to come and join our whānau.

We have three children, one of which has spastic cerebral palsy, she walks with assistance by an adult or in her walker, and she has a powered wheelchair and trike.

We are a fun, busy and loud household and the carer who works for us becomes family!

It’s really important to build a good strong relationship with our 5-year-old, who is full of sass and cheek, she (and all of them) will push your buttons and boundaries so a strong relationship is key. An understanding of working with children is essential, to be able to get the best version of her.

Our goals:

  • Independence and Mobility!

  • Inclusivity! Ensure she is included in her activities in her own way, with her sisters, friends, peers and community.

  • You will be assertive, kind, nurturing, caring, and have a holistic, encouraging, and positive approach to therapy and development.
  • Be open to adapt to, and use Explore behaviour skills and techniques and help implement them and maintain them.
  • If you understand neuroplasticity and are keen to work with us to retrain, rebuild and hone in on this area of development, absolute bonus! (not essential)
  • Quite essential, you need a sense of humour to win this girl and, all three girls.
