About Me

I'm a 43-year-old mother of two professional with a full time job. My husband also works full time. We are looking for a babysitter to look after our 6-year-old autistic son and his 4-year-old neurotypical brother occasionally at our home in Wakefield. We would like a regular arrangement of at least once a month if possible - dates to be discussed.

My Requirements

Babysitter
Special Needs Experience

My eldest son is autistic non verbal but is quite easy going. He is still in nappies so we would need someone comfortable with changing him. My youngest is neurotypical and enjoys play, crafts etc. We need someone who can look after them occasionally while my husband and I have some much-needed time out of the house. It would usually be 3-4 hours on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night. Dates/times flexible.

Amy's a breath of fresh air when it comes to babysitting. After being let down by a few people who didn't turn up when they said they would or failed to reply to messages, I was losing hope of finding someone I could work with. But since day 1, Amy has been a brilliant communicator, very reliable and punctual and I've trusted her from the get-go. She's excellent with my severely autistic, non verbal seven-year-old and is able to give him the personal care he needs, lying in bed with him while he falls asleep, for example. And at the same time, she finds time to have fun and play with my neurotypical four-year-old, who looks forward to her visits. I'd highly recommend Amy to anyone. We're very glad to have found her.
