About Me
***KINDLY NOTE, THAT MY DAILY REQUIREMENT TICKS ARE ALL GREEN, BUT ONLY VALID FOR A CARER/NANNY THAT CAN WORK THIS FULL TIME BETWEEN 9th-18th JANUARY 2024. THANK YOU ***
Hi! I am a single parent and live in a wheelchair adapted, 3 bedroom maisonette with my 2 children (12 and 8).
My youngest is a beautiful, happy boy; he is a wheelchair user, is tall for 8-years-old (he is nearly 9) and has severe physical and cognitive disabilities. He attends a specialist school, for which he receives council transportation to and from. We also have a Wheelchair Accessible vehicle, which we use almost daily.
My daughter is nearly 13, she is vivacious and keeps herself busy with her social life! She takes herself to and from school, which is a convenient 5 minute walk away. She and her brother have a very close bond.
I myself am an ex-NHS professional; my background is adult nursing. Since the birth of my youngest, I became his primary caregiver and found I needed to leave professional nursing behind. I now enjoy working part-time in a school.
The family home is kept very clean and organized and is located in a safe and family-orientated neighborhood. There is a care home opposite and there is a primary school practically on the doorstep.
