Registered Childminder Job in Rochester
About Me
I am a mum to a delightful two year old boy (I accept I might be a little biased!). Because he has cystic fibrosis we have had a term time nanny for the last year to keep him away from too many bugs that could affect his lungs. Now he is old enough for new medication that should protect his lungs a bit more we are looking to introduce our little one to a childminder this summer to get him used to someone else and spending time with other children.
Our boy is sociable and chatty, infinitely curious and quick to learn. As he gets older we want to encourage independence, curiosity, resilience and patience (considering his age patience is something very much in need of development!) We very much value kindness, compassion, humility, generosity and good humour and want to instil these in our son. It is also important to me that my child is shown how to be a lifelong learner and that he has an appreciation for language, music, art and the great outdoors (the latter will need some small adjustments, due to his CF).
I am keen to work with someone with good experience, strong communication and who understands and shares my concerns for my little boy’s wellbeing.
My Requirements
Ideally we are looking for a few hours a week over the summer holidays with the potential to extend that into term time as well.
We need a provider with a commitment to learning about particular risks to a child with our son’s medical condition, cystic fibrosis, and a willingness to adapt to his minimal. needs. Due to the nature of CF, we would take extra precautions if you or others in your care had respiratory illnesses. He will also need to be given pancreatic enzymes with food (very simply granules in apple purée, which he takes without fuss and will remind you of!) and will need thorough hand washing after outdoor activities.
We are keen to have a little settling in time for our son to become accustomed to a new care giver and for us to feel comfortable as we transition to a new arrangement.
