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.
