Lovely Summer PA/Companion/Nanny wanted. Mid July-Early Sept


Recommended Posts

I have a lively 18 year daughter with moderate CP and slow processing skills.

She is a wheelchair user but can walk short distances with a frame and do her own transfers.

She is bright and extremely vocal but processes thought and action very slowly.

She is sometimes quite lonely so needs a programme of fun things to do and see all summer, a PA to dream up activities, accompany her on trips, tell her whats fashionable, help her with cooking and crafts, watch films with, take her swimming, take her to Camden, maybe do some simple exercises and stretching with, generally keep her company and active when she has energy and be there with lunch when she hasn't.

She loves singing, writing, colouring in, music, baking, and needs to learn to cook wholesome suppers for her future at college....

The job could extend to term time weekend days and all school holidays on an ad hoc basis if you get along.

Please let me know if you are interested.

Hiya!


My name is Sam. I'm 24 years old and have 6 years experience in Child Care. I was a kid's party hostess for 5 years with an organization called Project PlayDate. I tutored at a performing arts camp for 4 summers in a row, teaching drama to kids ages 6-17. I've produced and directed a professional children's play. I took care of a 3MTH old and 2 year old (sisters) for a year, until they were 1YR and 3YRS respectively. Your daughter sounds lovely, and so does this job! I have a few questions. Is this a 5 day a week job? Also, what are the hours and your pay rate?



Look forward to hearing from you!

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
