  • The boring everyday stuff– such as help getting up, washing, food prep, managing medications, shopping, household chores,
  • As well as the fun and important stuff– help to support their family (mum/dad/brother/sister/friend etc), help organising days/ nights out, help with hobbies & interests… everything from basketball practice, to preparing for a wedding, and a sky dive (not at the same time)!
