- Assist with morning preparations, including breakfast setup and school lunch preparation.
- Guide and support smooth after-school transitions, homework completion, and winding down.
- Participate directly in home activities, games, and outdoor recreation.
Schedule & Time Commitment:

- Looking for a 12 month + commitment.
Role Requirements:
- Valid Driver’s Licence with a safe driving record.
- Working with Children Check (WWCC), Background and Police Check (or willingness to obtain).
