My Summary
About Me
I’m a compassionate, highly responsible childcare professional with a strong background in supporting children of all abilities. Approved by West Berkshire Council as a Personal Assistant for children with disabilities, I specialize in caring for children with autism, sensory processing differences, communication challenges, and emotional or behavioral needs.
With CPD-certified training in SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and Early Language Development, I provide structured, creative, and nurturing support to help every child thrive at their own pace. Whether it’s through engaging play, consistent routines, or tailored care plans, I aim to make every interaction safe, positive, and enriching.
My experience also includes working with Girlguiding UK (ages 6–10), where I help children build confidence, independence, and social skills in a fun and inclusive environment.
? Available every day after 6 PM
? Overnight care available
?? Fully available on weekends
? Urgent/last-minute bookings accepted (please note: additional charges apply for short-notice requests)
Families value my flexibility, reliability, and deep commitment to understanding each child’s unique needs. Whether you’re looking for regular evening support or need someone to step in last-minute, I’m here to help with warmth, professionalism, and care.
My Experience
I have extensive experience supporting children of all abilities in both home and community environments. I’ve provided care routines, sensory play, meal assistance, communication support, and school readiness activities.
As a West Berkshire-approved PA, I also work closely with families and local authorities to provide personalized care plans that enhance each child’s well-being and development.
My voluntary work with Girlguiding has strengthened my ability to lead small group activities that encourage friendship, learning, and emotional resilience in children.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so happy to hear that you’re pleased with the care I provide for your baby. I always make sure to keep a close watch on her, even during nap time, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Shraddha was wonderful with my daughter and they both got along really well. Although it was just a short while, I think she took care of her really well. What really caught my eye was the enhanced DBS check.
