Hello Nannies,

If you can walk the dog before school pick up that’s also welcomed but would mean a start time of 230 instead of 330. Finish time will usually be around 7.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Hi, I’m looking for a warm, bubbly, and patient babysitter with experience in disability. We have a gorgeous neurodivergent boy (autistic/ADHD/Intellectual Disability) who is 7 and developmentally around 1-2 years old. He is nonverbal, very active, and has a lovely happy temperament. He loves movement, water play, and any movement-based activities to keep him entertained and regulated. He is very quick and we need someone who will be hypervigilant around him to keep him safe. The right person will be someone who doesn’t mind being on their feet all the time - as my boy runs around constantly and requires long walks in the pram each day. We are looking for help on Saturdays (10-5) and then from June to add 2 afternoons per week (3-6pm), most likely to be Tuesdays and Thursdays. The role involves picking him up from school, feeding, supervising and playing with him at home, nappy changes, bath time, and taking him out to the park. He has no sense of danger so does require constant following and supervision. Must have a reliable car.

Please feel free to ask any questions at all!
