Childminder / Nanny Needed - School Runs and After-School Care for 6-Year-Old Boy

Description

We’re looking for a kind, patient and reliable childminder to care for our 6-year-old son on weekdays during term time.

Hours: 8am to 9am for the school drop-off, then 3pm to 8pm. That covers the 3:15pm pick-up and care at home until we’re back at 8pm. The school is about an 8-minute walk away.

Duties: Walk our son safely to and from school. Give him a meal and snacks on time, since he’s hungry after school and we keep his favourite foods ready. Help him change out of his uniform and remind him to wash his hands and use the toilet. Help with simple homework like letter tracing and practising words. Keep him busy with play, walks, the park and his scooter, with limited TV.

About our son: He’s autistic and mostly non-verbal. He communicates with signs, pointing and short phrases. He has no sense of danger outdoors, so he needs close supervision near roads. He also has asthma and uses an inhaler. Full guidance and training on his routine will be provided.

Requirements: Experience with children with additional needs, ideally autism. An enhanced DBS check, or willing to get one. Paediatric first aid is preferred. Two childcare references. Calm, attentive and reliable.

Pay: £13 per hour, depending on experience.

Please message us with a short introduction about yourself and your childcare experience.
