How do I set up access to my iPad from my Mac desktop?

access my iPad from my mac desktop

I want to set up an iPad so that I can access it from my Mac desktop. I primarily want to be able to access my iPad which I want to use with my elderly parent over Skype. As my father is not computer savvy in any way I would need to be able to remotely access the iPad to show him images or set up new connections for other family members. My IT Provider says I can do it the other way around from my iPad to my Mac only. If anyone can assist me with a solution I would appreciate it?
