My Summary

My Experience

Drawing upon my personal experience raising children, including one who required oxygen for four years, is deaf, has reactive attachment disorder, and functions at an eighteen-month-old level at seventeen, I possess a deep understanding of complex needs. Additionally, my professional background includes experience withing SEN schools where I support children with diverse requirements in both Primary and Secondary settings. I have also actively participated in my children's educational journeys, including all school field trips. Furthermore, I have consistently prepared meals from scratch, accommodating my youngest son's egg allergy, and have successfully managed critical health situations, such as resuscitating my son and addressing my daughter's febrile seizures, while navigating the multifaceted challenges inherent in raising children. I have many grey hairs under the pink dye ??

My Qualifications

I am pleased to share that I have successfully completed my GCSEs and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with first-class honors in Graphic Design and Illustration. Furthermore, I hold a CeMAP qualification and IOSH certification. I have also received training in first aid, food hygiene, and baby weaning. Additionally, I participated in several years of Filial therapy with my son, where I gained valuable skills in helping him understand his emotions through play.

My Availability

Weekday evenings, weekends, overnights Friday and Saturdays.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £12.21 per hour

My fees are structured per family, not per child, and they remain consistent during evenings and bank holidays. I am pleased to offer one hour free of charge to facilitate your smear test, and I highly encourage it. I adhere to the national living wage and offer considerable flexibility for overnight care. I am open to discussing fixed fees for overnight stays, half-day, full-day, or weekend arrangements, provided they are reasonable. Having personally experienced situations where such support was unavailable, I approach my work with empathy and aim to be a supportive member of your family unit, rather than a constraint.
