Creative and attentive substitute sought for 8-year-old Valentin - Hørsholm

Do you enjoy creative activities, fun competitions and cozy moments with children?

Then you might be the person to be an important part of Valentin's daily life and to give him safe, fun and engaging experiences.

What does the job involve?

Valentin is 8 years old and a happy, loving and curious boy with infantil autism. He loves 1:1 contact, creative activities, animals, games and fun. The family is looking for a stable and engaged substitute who can be with Valentin for a few hours a week, so the parents can occasionally do activities with the family's other children.

You will primarily be at home with Valentin or do small cozy activities in the local area.

You will help with things such as

• Pick Valentin up from the bus stop near the home
• Engage in creative activities such as drawing, playdough, puzzles and painting projects
• Play with animal figures, ball games or small competitions and games
• Go for walks to the playground or feed ducks by the stream
• Create structure, security and enjoyable time together
• Help Valentin shift focus if he becomes frustrated or overstimulated
• Be active and contribute ideas for activities

The position is 3-4 hours per week.

The hours are arranged with the family, preferably on a fixed weekday/afternoon each week, with the possibility of occasional weekend days.

We are looking for you who

• Want to build a safe and stable relationship over a longer period
• Are calm, caring and at the same time can be active and playful
• Have an interest in children with autism or familiarity with the area
• Can communicate in English, since Valentin primarily speaks English
• Can be clear and create boundaries in a positive way
• Are proactive and come prepared with ideas for activities
• Have the energy to keep up with a lively boy

It is not a requirement that you have experience with autism, but it is important that you are curious to understand Valentin's needs and meet him with patience, humor and presence.
