Part Time Nanny with Special Needs Experience Job in London Borough Of Sutton
About Me
Hello!
I'm Kate and mum to a very happy and highly energetic 5 year old boy. We've been in Cheam a few years, and our son is at school in reception.
Due to long-term ill health, I am unable to work and need to better prioritise my rest and health, hence looking for some extra help!
We are looking for some extra help in childcare, including developmental activities due to him having ASD- speech/COMMUNICATION, attention and OT difficulties - He has an EHCP.
The ideal person would have a lot of energy, patience and enjoy being out and about. Experience of SEN would be a bonus, to help us to work on the strategies we continually have in place and to support him in developing more and reaching his full potential.
A sense of humour is critical - he has a huge fun personality and likes to share his humour with others. He loves pretend play and has an ever growing imagination. Other loves are building, being outdoors, climbing, hide and seek... And mostly anything else that involves active play.
We're looking for help during school holidays and babysitting. Babysitting is particularly for the later nights at first and then moving to ad hoc from September 2026 when our regular babysitter goes to Uni. Our current focus is on planning for summer holiday childcare.
Overall I'm needing some help to keep on top of my rest and health, whilst ensuring our boy has all the care, support and fun that he needs and deserves.
During school holidays we are looking for part time with flexibility of hours for the right person.
It would be sole charge, and at some times it would be with me around, most likely I'd be in bed resting.
Please get into contact if you think you can help us!
Thanks, Kate xx

Reviews I've Written

Jill worked as our part-time nanny for several months, prior to our son starting school, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Our son has complex needs including Autism involving significant speech and language delay, sensory processing difficulties and no awareness of danger — requiring constant 1:1 supervision, particularly outdoors.
At the time of Jill starting with us, our 4yo son was unable to use sentences, causing him frustration and his words needed a lot of 'decoding' and guesswork to understand his wants and needs. He also has a couple of medical conditions requiring daily medication and swallowing difficulties, all requiring careful/close monitoring. Jill handled all of this with remarkable calm, patience and kindness, consistently applying his communication strategies, managing his medical needs confidently, and keeping him safe at all times, including out in the community.
As his mother I live with cancer and having someone we could trust completely was essential. Jill gave us that without question alongside plenty of empathy and humour. We think so highly of her that she has continued as our babysitter since her nanny role ended. Our son loves her dearly.
