We are caring for a sociable little boy who lives at home with his family in Skelmersdale. He enjoys watching Bing on the TV, listening to music and nursery rhymes, engaging in creative play, and spending time with other children, especially at nursery.

He is likely to be settled in bed and asleep upon the arrival of his care team, and your role is to ensure his safety and comfort and help him settle back to sleep if he wakes.
