I am looking for someone who can help me have fun and explore my community where I can build skills.

I am 8 years old and I live with my gran and grandad and my younger sister.

I love dogs and animals.

I have ADHD and it can impact my attention, I often need to do things for short periods, or I get bored.

I can also be quite active, and I am always on the go. I have a lot of energy.

People who know me would describe me as ‘a cheeky chap’ my gran says I like to be the centre of attention.

I like going to parks and being outside and I’m an active boy who enjoys exploring.

I like riding my bike and I enjoy drawing, going to the beach and love playing football.

Trust is really important to me, and I need adults to be consistent and do what they say they will.I like routine and knowing what is going to happen and when as this makes me feel safe.

If you are fun and energetic and can offer me lots of positive praise and consistency, please apply.
