About this client/child:
Eleven-year-old Tommy is full of energy and joy—he thrives on laughter, physical play, for example he loves swinging his arms as he walks. He is fascinated by music, textures, buses, trains, and exploring the world around him. He is cooperative, autistic, and non-speaking, using the Clicker Communicator AAC app to express his needs. AAC is central to Tommy’s communication, and his nanny must be curious and motivated to develop their skills in this area. Tommy is small for his age, and it’s important he is supported to grow in confidence and independence without being babied. Tommy benefits from being given plenty of time to complete tasks for himself, and he needs a nanny who has faith in his ability to achieve things in his own way and time. With some prompting, Tommy gets dressed, washes his hands, and uses the toilet independently. He has a restrictive diet, so all his meals are prepared at home.
Overview of role:
Your role will include school pickups, outings, and capturing special moments on the family blog. Supporting Tommy’s AAC use will be key, as will encouraging his independence and self-care skills. You’ll accompany him to activities such as yoga, gymnastics, swimming, music lessons, and occupational therapy. At home, you’ll support his evening routine, help with chores, and cook meals—cooking forms a large part of the role as Tommy follows a restricted diet. Twice a week, you’ll start earlier to prepare meals, tidy Tommy’s belongings, or occasionally support with family PA projects. Holidays will be packed with fun activities, music, galleries, nature trips, exciting days out, and seaside staycations.
Who this job would suit:
This role will suit someone patient, playful and confident—an advocate who believes in Tommy’s abilities and enjoys supporting him to achieve independence. While previous nannying experience is preferable, what matters most is having a real understanding of what it means to work as an SEN Nanny, and the dedication to learn.
What’s great about this job:
This is a fantastic opportunity or someone looking for a long-term role, who wants to see the impact of their efforts on a child’s development as he grows in the years ahead. You would also have the opportunity to develop your skills as Tommy’s family, school, and therapists will support your learning with tailored training.
