Family looking for local nanny

[gtt21]

Hi,

We're based near Peckham Rye Park and are looking for a local nanny, male or female, for our son.

Small Boy is turning seven in August, an only child, and on the autistic spectrum. He's a bright, cheerful, affectionate lad with some language delay and social skills issues - basically his intentions are friendly but his skills and focus aren't always quite up to them!

We do an educational/therapeutic program with him called ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis), and would love to find a nanny who's happy to have a relationship with our friendly ABA team, who can provide tips on the best ways to communicate and work with Small Boy. Experience with special-needs kids would be useful, but not essential; he's got on great with a nanny new to special needs before now. Experience with kids his age is essential, as Small Boy is sweet-natured but cheeky and likes to test boundaries, so he needs somebody who's comfortable being firm and consistent as well as kind.

His mum works from home, so we're looking for somebody who can take him on outings during the holidays, and possibly after school/weekends during term-time as well. We'd love to find someone settled in the area who could establish a long-term relationship with him, as he's warm-hearted and gets very fond of people.

If this sounds like a good fit for you, please message us here and let us know your experience and rates. :-)
