Registered Childminder Job In Canterbury
About Me
My daughter is almost nine years old. She is autistic and non-verbal. She communicates mainly through pointing and gestures, and she uses picture cards to show what she wants. She enjoys sensory play, especially water and soft textures, and she loves music. She does best with a consistent routine and a calm environment. She may become overwhelmed by loud noises or sudden changes, and when that happens she needs a quiet space and time to settle. She does toilet herself and meals herself. She is very gentle and enjoys being around familiar adults once she feels comfortable.”
My Requirements
I am looking for a childminder for my daughter, who is almost 9 years old, autistic and non-verbal. I need care on weekends and sometimes over weekends nights
I am looking for someone who has experience with autistic children, ideally non-verbal, and who is patient and understanding of different communication styles. My daughter communicates through gestures and routines, so it’s important that the childminder is willing to learn and follow her way of communicating.
A calm, structured environment is very important for her, as she can become overwhelmed by loud noise or sudden changes.
I would prefer someone who can provide a consistent routine, understands sensory needs, and can offer a safe and supportive space. Regular communication and updates would also be important to me.
