About Me

Hi! I'm a mum based in Whetstone, Leicester, looking for a kind, reliable and caring individual to help with after-school care for my 7-year-old daughter.

My daughter has complex medical and additional needs, so finding someone patient, compassionate and willing to get to know her is incredibly important to us. She's non-verbal but communicates through facial expressions and has her own wonderful little personality.

We're looking for help every Tuesday and one Thursday per month, ideally someone who can become a familiar and trusted part of her routine.

Previous experience with additional needs would be lovely, but isn't essential, as full training in her individual care needs will be provided.

We're a friendly, welcoming family and would love to find someone who genuinely enjoys working with children and is interested in building a long-term relationship with us!

My Requirements

Babysitter
Special Needs Experience

I'm looking for a kind, reliable and compassionate individual to provide after-school care for my 7-year-old daughter in Whetstone, Leicester.

**Hours & Availability:**
- Every Tuesday after school, approximately 2–4 hours
- One Thursday per month after school, approximately 2–4 hours
- Minimum of 10 hours per month guaranteed
- Potential for additional hours providing occasional evening/date night cover if we're a good fit

My daughter has complex medical and additional needs, including a tracheostomy, epilepsy and limited mobility. She is non-verbal but communicates through facial expressions and has a wonderful little personality.

She requires assistance with all aspects of daily care, including tracheostomy care, seizure monitoring, tube feeding, personal care, mobility and positioning, as well as companionship and engagement.

**Full training will be provided**, so previous experience with complex medical needs isn't essential. However, a willingness to learn and complete the necessary training and competency assessments before providing independent care is essential.

We're looking for someone patient, attentive, dependable and genuinely interested in getting to know our daughter. Experience with children or additional needs would be beneficial, and appropriate references and safeguarding checks will be required.

**Pay:** Approximately £15 per hour, negotiable depending on experience.

Ideally, we'd love to find someone who can become a consistent, trusted part of our daughter's routine, with the opportunity for additional hours as we build a relationship.

Please get in touch if you think you'd be a good fit for our family!
