Personal assistant for children

Having a personal assistant as a child is different from having a personal assistant as an adult, mainly with regard to the child perspective. We work with the child perspective in all aspects of personal assistance for children.

Personal assistance should enable the child to live like others of the same age without disabilities, with the help of a personal assistant. As a family, you can of course influence the assistance to suit your family.

Our child perspective and method are based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The child's best interests always come first and we also look at you as a family. We plan assistance exactly as you want it together with your parents and the way you think the child can best be influenced.

The child's personal assistance affects the whole family - the child, parents, siblings and grandparents. We are flexible and let you decide what you think is best. You have the right to influence your entire personal assistance, which personal assistants you want to work with you, training, etc.

For you if you have a child in need of a personal assistant

Personal assistance from the child's perspective

When it comes to personal assistance for children, we think that it goes without saying that your child should have as good an everyday life as possible and it should not be decisive whether you as a parent are an expert in everything related to personal assistance or not. We at Carelli assistans have previous experience and knowledge when it comes to obtaining a personal assistant for children. We are prepared to quickly create a safe assistance that fits both you and your child no matter what the decision is. This means that you can decide for yourself how much responsibility for your assistance you want to hand over to us. 

Together with you, we want to create an assistance that suits your family. Because children's needs can change quickly and over time, we want to follow up closely with you as a family and with your child's personal assistants to make sure your child is always getting the right help in the right way.

The help provided by a personal assistant should enable the child to live a life like other children without disabilities.

What makes personal assistance for children different from assistance for adults?

We see a difference in the provision of assistance when it comes to a personal assistant for children compared to adults. Partly because of the child's own rights and that it is you as a parent who is an expert on your child's best interests. We work with the child's perspective in all parts of the assistance, which means that we base our information and the child's participation individually on the child's age and maturity.
