Location: Ash Green, Aldershot
Hours: 4 hours on a Saturday morning (plus an extra 4 hours on another day during school holidays – 13 weeks per year).
We are a warm and welcoming family looking for a kind, reliable Personal Assistant to support our son, Dominic, on Saturday mornings for 4 hours each week and an extra 4 hours on another day (flexible) during school holidays.
No previous care experience is required — just patience, energy, and a genuine wish to make a positive difference.
About Dominic
Dominic is a bright, active 5-year-old who loves getting out and about. He enjoys doing his regular activities, and spending time outdoors. He can be a flight risk when out, so we are looking for someone who is vigilant and confident supporting him safely.
