About Me

I'm Covid-19 Vaccinated

2 children one age 7 (m) and one age 2 (m) both with SEN needs awaiting diagnosis

We are a family of four who do everything together, our typical day looks different to other families as getting out and about with the kids can prove tricky depending on emotional needs at the time.

About our 7 year old - currently awaiting ADHD diagnosis, is a very sensitive child and does not cope well in unknown situations, crowded places or with people he doesn't know. requires alot of physical stimulation however will often take things too far. He has sensory needs and can often verbalise what he needs unless he's in crisis. He is medicated at night times to help with sleep.

About our 2 year old - non verbal, awaiting a few diagnosis (PICA, Autism, global delay) he suffers with chronic constipation and is medicated so ideally would like someone med trained. He will rarely hand lead and communicates by either bringing you things or by a series of screams and noises. He gets emotionally disregulated and has multiple sensory needs.

We are currently just exploring the idea of a babysitter as family cannot handle both children onto of their own kids.
