About Me
I am married and we have recently moved to the village of Houston in Renfrewshire in order to achieve a slower pace of life for our boys. I am currently a full time Mum, having made the decision to resign from my employment in order to provide full time commitment to my three sons aged 15 and 5.
One of my sons has Down’s syndrome and ASD and he requires extra support and supervision, which I am the main provider of. He attends a local ASN secondary school. His twin brother has high functioning autism and attends a local mainstream high school. Our youngest son is attending Nursery in his extra year and he loves it. He has been diagnosed with ASD and has developmental delays. He is also non verbal.
My husband and I don’t get a lot of time together without our children as it's difficult finding the right support.
We are non smokers, and don't have any pets.
My Requirements
I am looking for a local babysitter/nanny who would be able to assist me looking after my sons, building up to perhaps carrying out a monthly/two monthly overnight stay. It’s so important for anyone to be experienced in working with children with Additional support needs.
I'm looking for someone who can offer me peace of mind, knowing that my children will be safe and looked after by someone trustworthy.
A non-smoker is preferred.

I contacted Tiffany to come and meet with myself and meet my boys at our home. She is so friendly and chatty I immediately felt very comfortable in the knowledge my boys would be safe and happy with her looking after them. Tiffany suggested we arrange a short babysitting session for her and my three sons to spend time together. When we came home she’d made a lovely card with my oldest son and my youngest had been enjoying drawing with her too. She’s punctual, trustworthy and so enthusiastic about her charges.
Tiffany came to our home yesterday to look after my sons for our first afternoon/evening out in a long time. She arrived with cupcakes for the boys as it had recently been their birthdays 🥳 thought that was a lovely thoughtful touch. I’d written out some notes to help her with my sons likes/dislikes, really important as my three sons have ASD. We will definitely be arranging another babysitting session very soon. My boys all really like Tiffany and enjoyed playing with the play dough she made for them. We could really enjoy our trip out in the knowledge that Tiffany was looking after them. We would definitely recommend Tiffany, she’s a genuinely warm, friendly and conscientious babysitter. Nothing is too much trouble for her. Thanks Tiffany
