ASD · Discovery Bay
"He finally plays on his own — we can finally breathe"
Tier A expat family · 6-yo child on the autism spectrum · waited 3 months before matching
They live in a Discovery Bay villa and both parents work. The child has strong sensory sensitivities — big reactions to sound and touch — and two previous helpers had quit because they couldn't handle the meltdowns.
屋企住愉景灣別墅,兩公婆都要返工。小朋友有強烈感官敏感,對聲音同觸摸反應大,之前請過兩個姐姐都因為唔識處理情緒爆發而辭工。
"Before, going to work I was scared the home phone would ring. This helper is steady and confident with ASD — she uses visual schedules and a calm corner, and the meltdowns are down by half."
Matching focus: English communication, sensory-integration activities, large-home care. Two months after the helper arrived, the family regained a predictable routine.
配對重點:英文溝通能力、感覺統合活動、大屋打理。姐姐到崗後兩個月,家庭重獲規律作息。
✓ Key: match on precise skill tags, not just years on the job

Driver scenario · Sai Kung
"Village house + two kids, one male FDW handles it all"
