About Me
I am a single mum of a special.needa boy who is almost 6. I am working from home while home educating him, and I am looking for someone used to working with SEND children to come in a few hours every week (Monday to Thursday, although I reckon the bulk of hours would be on Thursday and Tuesday).
I would need someone to come in and look acter my son while I am in meetings etc., also once in a while I might have to travel into the office in Leicester, so those might be the odd days when you will be with my son at home for an entire day 8am to 5pm.
My son, Ayden is quite easy going and full.of energy. He's been non verbal until few months ago, now he can say words, sometimes full sentences, can have a basic conversation on a good day and quite often goes around the house humming songs. Toilet training is still in progress.
Loves music and dancing, plays his little guitar, also enjoys water play, doing insert puzzles, pretend play. Loves watchimg me write and spell words for him. He's got plenty of puzzles, books, sensory toys etc and his room has blackout curtains, for those rare moments when he's overwhelmed. Since being home schooled, he's barely had any meltdowns, maybe once every 2 weeks and they usually last a couple of minutes.
Our garden has a swing and slide and he's very confident using them, but needs supervision. There's no need to take him out, as he is only used to me taking him out.
We also have 2 senior cats who are indoors-obly, and who have helped him a lot in managing his emotions.
My Requirements
We would like support from someone who is used to working with SEND children, maybe who could help progress with toilet training and who can be patient with our son. He understands everything that we say, helps with small chores in the house, even though he only talks when he wants to. He's a very positive and happy child, who loves cuddles once he gets used to a person, but most things that involve learning and progressing, he does them on his own terms and when he wants and we would like someone who can understand and be patient with him.
