How do I set up multiple profiles on my iPad?

I have a new iPad Air 2 running iOS 9.1. I'd like to set up a Profile on the device for myself, one for my wife, and one for my son. How can I do this?

iPad Air, iOS 9.1, iPad Air 2

Unfortunately the iPad does not support creating multiple users/profiles as it is a single user device, unlike Mac's that run OS X, which allow you to create multiple user accounts. Hope this answered your question.

EDIT: If you would like to suggest this idea to apple you can do so here!

Not blaming the messenger, but are you kidding me? If I want to be able to access files I store in iCloud via my iPad, I have to then risk my 5 year old accidentally deleting m work files if I let him use my iPad?

It would be nice for apple to implement this feature as a future update if enough people suggest that it be added, however currently it is not possible. If you would like however, you can set up a Restrictions passcode to disable certain apps/functionality on the iPad by going into Settings > General > Restrictions. You can view the items you are able to restrict from there. Hope this helps you.
