My Requirements

From September 2024, we are looking for a live-out nanny to pick up our 6yr-old son, every weekday, from his primary school in Stoke Newington at 3.15pm. Maybe you'll pop by a play-park, go swimming at the Britannia Centre or to the library to read some new books. Then at home, you will work together on his emerging phonics / numbers skills with inventive activities/games, before making supper for 5.30pm. The day ends at 6.30pm. THIS ROLE IS A 20-HOUR WEEK with extra babysitting here and there if desired.

Our boy is sweet-natured, affectionate and pre-verbal. He is autistic and attends The Garden (a specialised school) in N16, where he is thriving. The ideal candidate would be someone with experience looking after young children with ASD. But it's also important to us to find a nanny who can support his needs with enthusiasm and positivity - someone who's ready to engage with our journey as a family. We have been making exciting progress with phonics, counting and his understanding of language, so strong teaching skills are a plus. As is experience using an AAC device. Our son needs a friendly nanny with confidence, humour and physicality to direct his play, keep him laughing, learning and generally keep up with him :)

Ideally, we are looking for a commitment of 1 year. Multiple strong references are essential. First Aid qualifications are a plus. Our priority is to find someone who genuinely loves looking after young children, who can become a communicative, happy and effective part of our household and give our son the one-on-one time to compliment Year 2 of primary school.
