Registered Childminder Job in Orpington
About Me
I am a working mum based in Orpington, looking for a warm, reliable and capable nanny/home childcarer to support my 12-year-old son, who will be 13 in November.
He is a kind, funny and engaging young person who is currently solely home educated.
He enjoys football, the gym, martial arts, reading and technology. He is independent but benefits from consistency, encouragement and help maintaining a structured routine.
He has some learning needs that affect areas such as processing speed, fatigue and organisation.
He does not require personal care or any behavioural support. He is well behaved and easy-going.
I am looking for someone who can build a positive, respectful relationship with him and become a consistent part of our weekly routine.
My Requirements
I am seeking an ofsted-registered nanny/home childcarer for approximately 20 guaranteed hours per week across three days of the week. Most of his academic work will be done in the morning, and he will need someone who can facilitate his activities, extra curricular, any additional learning and outings as I either attend the office of work from home.
The role will include
• Following and supporting a prepared home-learning and homework routine.
This will mostly be providing guidance and overseeing work is done. Asking how he found it, checking his progress and providing feedback to me.
• Encouraging reading, and online learning activities.
• Helping him maintain structure, focus and organisation
• Preparing or overseeing a simple lunch
• Supporting confidence and increasing independence
• Walking with him to the local gym and overseeing usage.
• Taking him to activities such as football or martial arts when required
• Planning occasional age-appropriate outings and activities (ideally once a week)
I would particularly welcome someone who is articulate and confident supporting schoolwork.
Experience as a teaching assistant, learning-support assistant, SEN or with older children would be highly valued.
Essential requirements:
• Current Ofsted registration
• Enhanced DBS and current first-aid training
• Full driving licence and own car
• Recent, checkable references
• Calm, dependable and comfortable working with an older child
I am looking for a consistent, potentially long-term arrangement with someone my son feels comfortable with.
I do not need every day ticked, but I am flexible with what days are required and we can discuss this further once connected.
