• Area: Claremont, CT
• Ages: 5.5 Year old daughter with PDA
• Child’s Neurodivergence Snapshot: Intelligent, sociable and loving, but highly anxious with significant emotional support needs. Anxiety/avoidance/resistance is triggered by anything she perceives to be a demand/expectation, e.g. eating a meal at suppertime, going to school, bathing regularly. She’s high masking and will appear neurotypical in most contexts. However, her capacity and emotional regulation fluctuates, depending on how much stress (demands) has been building up in her system.
• Support Style:  Keeping her overall stress levels down through accommodations, mainly: (1) a low demand approach to parenting, school, and everything in-between and (2) access to a safe person for co-regulation.
• As such, we are looking for an au pair to be a companion, a safe presence, an anchor for her. This person needs to be patient, grounded and emotionally intuitive; and genuinely curious about how she experiences the world.
• The right candidate needs to be open to learning counter-intuitive low-demand approaches. No instruction or management; no rewards or punishments. Collaboration and trust are everything. This means meeting her as an equal, rather than trying to teach, lead or correct her. Follow her lead, join her in imaginary play, let her win games.

• Requirements: Experience with PDA whether working with or through personal experience. Someone with a tertiary education. Someone calm, has a good read on emotions, intuitive, take initiative, organised, can be more of an equal to the child instead of a authoritative figure.
• Start date: ASAP Start Date – permanent contract - Looking for a long term commitment
