About Me
My name is Samantha Guyan. I'm a 31 year old single parent living in Aberdeen with my son, Dylan, who is 7 years old.
My Requirements
I'm looking for a childminder to care for my son after primary school between 3pm and 5-6pm, including a school collection from his Primary School. My son Dylan is a bright, caring and sensitive young boy, who is constantly on the move, exploring his environment and interacting with things. He was diagnosed with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder, which means he has special care requirements, including support with toileting (though he is mostly independent with this). Dylan is also diagnosed with ADHD and Epilepsy and has a Care Plan outlining the risks and support for this.
Dylan is non-verbal, has communication issues and difficulties with self awareness. He has a limited environmental awareness and lessened sense of danger, meaning he has to be observed regularly to ensure he is safe and happy. He can be prone to meltdowns when he gets overstimulated, but is easily distracted by playing outdoors supervised or with his computer tablet. However, he is a very friendly and considerate young boy who enjoys making new friends and interacting with people.

Reviews I've Written

Ms. Fix-it contacted me about an available job. I explained what I needed in some detail - including my child being autistic, and needing specialised support.
She was very short with the reply, "I have experience with special needs children" and immediately redirected me to her booking site, without checking on any of the specifics I'd mentioned - other than the fact that I just needed a single days care (at that stage).
I'd asked if I could meet her beforehand, let her meet my child, to let her see how their special needs affected their behaviour and daily routine - and she replied two days later with "I don't do interviews. You book in trust. I show up to serve you."
Felt like I'd asked her if she was available to clean my house, not care for my child. Very unsettling. Have evidence of all contact if asked.
Overall-

The perfect and on time review I got in the past was from a parent with special needs child- we never had a reason to meet in advance prior to start of the job and was 100% impressed.
I’ve got an autistic child in the family.
I’ve consulted on several occasion with a special needs school.
I’ve been declining job offers recently on health grounds, distance and other reasons best known to me.
If my service offer doesn’t match your needs, it’s absolutely fine.
I’m seeking ideal customers.
People requiring emergency care based on my availability.
