Experienced Special Needs Babysitter Hi! My name's Carmen. I'm originally from England, where I worked in Primary schools for 2-3 years as a Teacher's Assistant and Special Needs Support Officer. I have worked with children from ages 4-11 with autism, ADHD, severe behavioural difficulties, Down Syndrome, Muscular Dystrophy, and other difficulties. I absolutely love the fast paced, inspiring environment and am desperate to get back into it in Sydney! I have been babysitting on and off for around 6 years now for children 8 months old and above. I enjoy playing games, spending time outside, reading and doing homework with children. I have tutored children in schools and at home for around 5 years, in English, mathematics and reading. I tend to have a very calm, empathetic approach, which I find works well with most children, especially those who may struggle with their behaviour. However, I am extremely flexible and enjoy adjusting my approach depending on each child's needs. I have an NSW WWCC and a UK Police Check, I'd be happy to apply for an Australian one too.
