About Me

I am seeking a reliable childminder who will be able to collect my two SEN children up from school on a Tuesday and Wednesday, and drop them home at 6pm as these are my lecture days at university.

I have Ezrah aged 6, my little bundle on energy that’s for sure. He is cheeky, affectionate, and loves 1:1 time with adults. He has reduced speech, but this has come on leaps and bounds, and is verbally much more understandable to those that don’t know him well. He loves playing games on his tablet, board games, arts and crafts, and a cuddle on the sofa whilst watching TV. Ezrah has ASD, suspected ADHD, and PDA (pathological demand avoidance) I would preferrably like somebody who is familiar with PDA and has knowledge in the recommended language choices and de escalation techniques when speaking with a PDA child (for the benefit of both Ezrah and the child minder to limit meltdowns and / or challenging behaviours)

I also have Marciya, aged 10. She is an extremely intelligent, funny and sweet girl, but due to her suspected ASD (assessment pending) she can struggle with her communication skills at time, and can appear blunt due to her lack of filter. She is a sensitive girl, and can over think things at times, so choice of language is important, and praise and positive re enforcement is key. She enjoys 1:1 chats about subject matters that interest her, watching movies, playing her switch, board games and she has a keen interest in art. She is a fantastic advocate for her little brother, and understands him well. So she will happily assist a childcare provider if there is any confusion on how to deal with Ezrah in a specific situation.

We have a very structured life due to the children’s individual needs, and I have never had a babysitter, childminder etc besides their nanny. But as she is getting older I don’t ask very often. So we are looking for a kind, patient, female childminder, who will be available Tuesday and Wednesday’s pick up 3.20 from school (local to Pitsea area) and drop off home at 6pm. Experience with SEN children and feels comfortable with dealing with what I have said above is a must.

Student finance will pay fees directly to provider upon receipt on monthly invoice.

Thankyou for reading.
