Our daughter can be a very happy young person who has a good sense of humour, and enjoys being outside as well as in our home. She enjoys art whether this be in galleries or colouring in a book, painting pottery or an actual picture. Her favourite thing is anything to do with rabbits (Bunnies). Currently she enjoys listening to Beethoven, crafting and reading.

Responsibilities include:

• Spending 1-1 quality time with our daughter

• Driving to the activities she wishes to attend

• Attending activities such as swimming, art galleries/museums, and the cinema, even just purely getting some fresh air.
