Support parent

Position: Support parent wanted for 10 year old girl (IJsselmonde) Raising children is not always easy. Sometimes as a parent you can use some help with this. Do you love children and do you still have some time left? Then read on. Short explanation This concerns a single mother with a 10-year-old daughter. The girl is intelligent and caring and requires just a little more attention than others. Structure and clarity are important. The girl is hearing impaired and diagnosed with ADHD. She is also very creative and enjoys drawing and crafting. She loves pets. Since there is no network in the immediate area, everything falls on mother's shoulders.

We support independent elderly people with individual guidance and/or day care. We receive these elderly people weekly at Het Geheugenpaleis in Schiedam and Maassluis and Het KrachThuis in Vlaardingen and Maassluis. Het Geheugenpaleis is for people who suffer from mild memory problems and/or early dementia who want to keep their brain active for as long as possible. We always start the day relaxed by drinking coffee or tea together, during which we share what keeps us busy. Then it is time for a healthy dose of exercise. Under the guidance of the vitality coach, we will exercise, make music (rhythms) and sing for an hour. A proven way to keep our brains active, and above all fun to do. After this effort, time for relaxation again. We have lunch together, a bread meal with soup or a hot meal. After lunch there is an opportunity to do whatever we feel like doing. Playing a game, being creative, memory training etc. The Geheugenpaleis is organised from Monday to Friday in Schiedam and is accessible to people with an indication Mids (participating in the city elderly), the KrachThuis is organised once a week on Tuesday in Vlaardingen and on Wednesday in Maassluis and is accessible.
