Rafael
Childminder/Nanny/ Au Pair Role – 16–18 hrs/week – Reading
About Me
I am a single father living in Reading with my 9-year-old son, Edward. We are a small, friendly household and live approximately 10 minutes’ walk from Reading town centre.
I have started full-time work and urgently need reliable after-school childcare. Edward is an active, curious and affectionate boy who enjoys basketball, manga/anime, football, spending time with friends and learning Spanish.
Edward attends mainstream school and is autistic, so a calm, patient and predictable approach works best for him.
I am flexible about the arrangement and would consider a registered childminder, live-out nanny, after-school nanny or live-in nanny/au pair. For a live-in arrangement, a private bedroom, meals and normal household utilities would be included.
My Requirements
URGENT – ideally starting within the next week.
I am looking for someone to collect Edward from Whitley Park Primary School at 3:15pm, Monday to Friday, and look after him until approximately 5:00pm.
The regular requirement is therefore around 9 hours per week.
I will arrange and take Edward to his basketball and other activities separately, so the role is mainly school collection and after-school care.
I am happy to consider:
-a registered childminder who already collects from Whitley Park;
-an after-school or part-time nanny;
-a live-out nanny; or
-a live-in nanny/au pair.
Edward is autistic and benefits from calm communication, clear expectations and predictable routines. Experience with autistic or neurodivergent children would be helpful but is not essential for the right patient and reliable person.
For a live-in candidate, a private bedroom, meals and normal household utilities would be included.
Please contact me if you may be available, even if only for part of the week, as I need to arrange childcare urgently.
