About Me
We're a neurodivergent family of four, recently moved from SE London to Hastings. Juggling our work in arts and education, with parenting our two autistic children, aged 15 and 11. Both have EHCPs and are currently educated outside of school (EOTAS)
My Requirements
Hello, we're looking for one or two calm, friendly, flexible and patient people for evening babysitting so that we can have a break, and also possibly daytime support at home, or taking our 11 year old out in nature, on trips and to activities.
Our 11 year old has ADHD and a PDA profile of autism, and has been out of school for several years, following a bad experience at a special school in London. They are thoughtful, active and imaginative, with a good sense of humour, but can become quite anxious when under pressure, and respond well to a low demand, indirect, collaborative style of communication, based around their special interests (which include animals, movies and Minecraft) We're looking for people who could engage with their interests, play and learn alongside them, while helping to improve their confidence, independence and skills.
Specific SEN knowledge / training isn't necessary (and in fact some of the usual autism strategies are not helpful for our younger child), but we are looking for people who are happy to take both a neuro and gender-affirming approach.
