About Me

I am a babysitter and a carer, who specialises in one-on-one support for neurodivergent individuals and children.

For long term care, I aim to ensure every child and young person feels happy, safe and confident, while navigating any Individualised Care Plans or goals that you have as a family.

For short term care, I hope to create a fun environment, learning the specific needs and routines of your household.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, baking, board games, art, music and going on outings!

My Experience

I have practical experience and a history of community advocacy, across age groups.

I delivered 1-on-1 interventions for disabled children and young people within a structured, supported activities scheme. I am experienced in managing sensory processing differences, and navigating Autism and ADHD differences. I also am competent in managing personal care and basic nutritional support, developed through dedicated service in residential nursing facilities.

In terms of educational and community support, I have supported early childhood development (ages 4–9) within formal primary school environments, assisting with social-emotional learning and classroom integration. I work as a University Student Communities Worker, directly coordinating accessibility programmes and peer support for underrepresented and disabled demographics. Finally, I help run programs for youth and adolescent cohorts in my capacity as a Student Ambassador, and maintain an up-to-date DBS check for working with young people.

My Qualifications

I am currently studying BA Languages and Cultures, covering Spanish, Italian and linguistics. I have an A* A-level in English Language with a focus on Child Language Development, which I further explored in my A* EPQ.

In my free time I am involved with autism advocacy, and am working on translation projects to bring autism support resources to more communities!

Amy has been wonderful. She is a good communicator, responds quickly to messages and is always punctual. She is also polite and very caring.

My son loves spending time with her and we will be having her over regularly.

My son really enjoys his time with Amy. She is fantastic, understanding my sons needs and routine. Caring, kind, fun and I know my son is in safe hands. Would definitely recommend!
