About Me
We are a family of 5, in Aylesbury, 3 boys aged 3, 7 and 12. We are mainly looking for help with our eldest son who has special needs and epilepsy. I work part time as a private physiotherapist and my husband works school hours as a plastering instructor about 45 minutes away. We have a dog.
My Requirements
UPDATED October 2023
We now have a vacancy for a nanny 1 day a week ideally a Monday. This would involve starting at 7.30/8am to assist getting our eldest son ready for school, helping in the house during the day, then looking after him after school. There is the opportunity for more hours before/ after school, weekends , holidays. Good rates of pay. Special needs experience essential.
Our eldest son is 12 but developmentally is around 18 months, he also experiences seizures. This sounds worse than it is and full training would be provided. We have a 7 year old going in year 3 at the local school and a 3 year old in pre school part time. We also have an au pair to assist for 30 hours a week in the holidays and I am home 2 days a week with the youngest .
It would be advantageous to have someone with a driving licence and ideally over 25 for insurance on our wheelchair accessible vehicle.
Both older children go to school Monday to Friday and our toddler will be at pre school at least two days a week, so some of the hours are for admin for our eldest son for example checking medication supplies- ordering new stock, cleaning his bedroom, changing bedding, washing etc. During this time you would be on call to collect him from school if he is unwell. Similarly, if he is unwell at the start of the day, it would be to care for him at our home.
During school holidays, it would be to take the children out with either the au pair or a carer to parks/ local attractions.
We are also looking for ad hoc care at the weekends either to care solely for our eldest son or as a second pair of hands
