Cape Town, South Africa The Neurodiversity Centre Full time

Au pair for two neurodivergent siblings - Cape Town.

We're in search of an au pair who is outgoing, bubbly, and has a low arousal temperament—a person who handles situations calmly without getting caught up in the small stuff, while still being responsible and highly organised. Being open-minded and non-judgmental is important, along with having plenty of energy to keep up with two lively boys, aged 9 and 7.

To be a “helping hand” for their unique and specific support needs, giving them the necessary guidance and support to thrive. A special interest and passion in neurodiversity and to be a secure, long-term source of support is of the utmost importance.
- Becoming a core member of the multi-disciplinary team handling any support and intervention needed around both children.
- To collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team to support their individual needs if and when needed.
- Providing companionship and emotional support for them at home.
- Support and scaffolding for their regulation needs (lessening any uncertainty and anxiety).
- To carry out duties such as school pick-ups and drop offs, outings and appointments, preparing lunch/dinner and school lunches.
- Light housework (wiping down table after eating, loading and unloading dishwasher, helping pack away activities/toys).
- Supporting the understanding of their individual difference sensory profiles, and executive functioning (executive function examples eg. independence, self
- organisation).

Support and training from a multi-disciplinary team knowledgeable in the field of Neurodiversity.
