My Requirements

The main hours are an alternating weekends either a sat or sun (I am flexible with this and don’t mind switching from week to week) 6 hours ... again I am flexible with either 10.30-4.30 or 10-4 etc or other variations during school term. Also, one late afternoon per week 3pm to 6pm either a Tuesday Thursday or Friday I don’t mind and again can be flexible each week. During holidays there are up to 15- 20 extra hours every week available with no specific day required so this can be discussed. Again no specific day and happy for it to switch each week with planning and communication. This is a job share, I have another worker who has been with us for over a year that is already doing other hours in term time and can share the 20 hrs in the holidays.

Pay is £13.25 per hour with holiday pay accrued and paid monthly in pay. No sick pay. Happy to talk with self employed individuals as well as those who wish employment. It’s on a flexible contract as days and hours can change depending on your availability each week etc.

All and any Training is provided free of charge and you will get certificates for your portfolio.

I would like someone who is confident with my youngest, fun but firm when the situations require it. Someone I can feel totally at ease to leave my daughter with as well as in my own home.

I am looking for someone who has a lot of patience. My youngest has global development delays which effect her mobility and communication skills mostly. She attends a special needs school locally. There are some other diagnosis that I will go through upon application, nothing to be worried about. She also has a Mickey button (feeding tube in her belly) which she requires only fluids through. This is very simple to do and I will fully support the right person. I want the right applicant to be happy relaxed and confident with her care needs which are that of a 2-3 yr olds in comparison. She is a very happy child who brings joy to mine and everyone's lives. She loves mostly to sing and dance. She is 13 but the size of a 5 yr old at best.

I am a modern parent that likes to stick to routine and rules as well as living in a fun relaxed environment and I would like someone who respects these conditions and can have fun within those boundaries. Someone who is happy to become one of the family.

As relationships grow in trust and confidence There could also be the possibility of the occasional overnight so that I could finally have a night (or possibly 2) away.. Also perhaps a holiday chaperone once a year is a possibility. All expenses paid of course. But that would be a discussion for the future of course.

Someone who can drive is preferable but at the very least has a reliable ability to get here on time and also be collected at flexible times

If you think you are who I am looking for please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you :)
