About Me

I raised both my children alone with no support and love them both with all my heart. My son is bigger now and due to him now requiring two carers to one I had to make the hardest choice by placing him into a residential children’s home. I have ten years experience, I understand the challenges that come with caring for SEN children, I know that they are highly intuitive, they require a lot of empathy and understanding. I know they can have unpredictable outbursts, normally due to frustration, they need stability and routine as well they do not like change. My children are very picky eaters, for eg I would cut my sons waffles into 8 bite size pieces, once after years of this i cut them into 4 larger bite size pieces and this broke his heart lol ? he cried uncontrollably. I understand how they function and it doesn’t matter how calm some one can pretend to be they know! There’s no Bs no fluff with these children, they just need to be understood and cared for properly and it’s all uphill from there. It is much harder to manage the stress doing it 24/7 especially alone with little to no support. I understand how isolating life becomes and how basic tasks such as popping to the pharmacy is like walking through a war field taking them outside. I do not have any qualifications how ever my sons social worker is happy to be a reference and I have a letter from my domestic violence solicitor of 8 years, I can forward to you stating that I am some one of strong character and was a very loving mother to my children.
