My Requirements

We are seeking an enthusiastic and energetic person to look after and play with our son, Tristan, for 4 hours per weekday.  Exact timings are likely to be 11:35-3:35, and pay would depend on the applicant's experience. It would be ideal if we could find someone who has experience of working with speech delay, and even more ideal to find a native French speaker.

We are based in W5 (between South Ealing and Ealing Broadway tubes) and are soon to become a family of 5. Tristan has an older brother, aged 5, and, all being well, will be getting a new baby sister in August! As above, the main responsibilities of the job will be focused on Tristan, but we may also ask for some help with other household tasks like cooking or folding washing. More information about Tristan below.

Tristan will turn 4 in November and is a late bloomer when it comes to talking and some of his motor skills.  His comprehension of language is excellent in both English and French (I speak French to the children as I am half French).  Because I will have my hands quite full with our new baby, we think it would be great for Tristan to have someone dynamic and fun in his life to take him to the park and practice running and climbing etc, or to play with him at home and give him that extra bit of attention he needs to help him progress with his speech and fine motor skills.  We have all been learning some Makaton to try and help Tristan with his expressive language and so, depending on how he has progressed by September, we’d like to find someone eager to learn or already experienced with Makaton.

Please do get in touch if you might be interested. Thank you!
