My Summary
About Me
I am a 49 year old married women who has parented 3 wonderful children through life. I have just returned form seven years in Shanghai as an expat and looking for some part time work. I have three amazing daughters, who are independent, working and thriving. I call myself lucky to have been a supportive role throughout their life, now enjoying watching them flourish. I love to paint, walks on the beach and have toy poodle called coco who is adorable and like our 4th child. I was also diagnoses with ADHD 3 years ago, along with two of my daughters, so have overcome many challenges and phases and have lots of useful tips and tricks.
My Experience
I am a 49 year old woman who has parented three wonderful children through life. Experienced, neurodivergent-aware carer specialising in supporting children with ADHD, high energy, anxiety, or emotional sensitivity. My daughters are 25, 21 and 18. Every stage of their lives has been special and unique. I have two daughters that have ADHD, so we have faced man obstacles together, learnt a lot through our own research, and practical solution, but mainly faced such challenges with patience, kindness and understanding. I found each child to have different needs, yet we were able to move forward with such positivity, that both children became, strong independent, and motivated women. I am able to offer a calm, emotionally stabilising environment, a step in parent support, mentor, friendly advice, someone that you can rely on who understands the daily juggle. Whether it’s after-school support, sensory-aware routines, or just a peaceful presence at home, I offer childcare that respects each child’s unique rhythm and needs. I am gluten and dairy free, so very aware of any allergy issues, so no problem working with you on that.
