LOOKING FOR

​

ALEX AGE 3 - looking for a child aged 3-4 (pre-school) 

Alex has a white mother and a bi-racial (white / African) father, so we are looking for a child of appropriate heritage.

 

Alex is a happy child. He has two loving parents and he particularly adores his mum but then something terrible happens and he will never see her again. Alex and his dad have to start piecing their lives together again but are continually having to interact with very serious grown ups as well as moving house several times.

 

We're looking for a little boy who is comfortable playing, exploring and meeting new people. Obviously, at this young age, it will be directed 'play' rather than 'acting' and all content and situations will be carefully handled. However we do need a confident child who is comfortable with adults.

APPLICANTS MUST BE
