Part Time Nanny with Special Needs Experience Job in Gravesend
About Me
We are a warm, hardworking family based in Gravesend. Our son is a happy, energetic 6-year-old boy who has autism. He communicates mainly through signs, pointing and a few words, so he needs someone patient and attentive who will take the time to understand him. He loves music, the park, his scooter and short walks, and he thrives on routine and gentle encouragement.
My Requirements
We are looking for a reliable, caring after-school nanny with experience supporting children with autism or other special educational needs. The role is Monday to Friday, 8am to 9am for the morning school run, and 3pm to 8pm for school pick-up and after-school care, totalling 6 hours a day. The school is a short walk from home.
Duties include taking him to and from school safely, preparing simple meals and snacks, supporting with homework such as letter tracing and word practice, and keeping him engaged with play, walks and outdoor activities rather than screen time. He has no sense of danger near roads, so close supervision outdoors is essential. Experience with asthma management is an advantage, and full guidance will be provided.
An enhanced DBS check, references, Applicants must hold an enhanced DBS check and be able to provide references. A paediatric first aid certificate is desirable.
