I’m looking for an ad-hoc carer / babysitter for my son, 7, who has ASD.  He is  articulate, bright and funny, but because of his SEN he struggles to access regular activities and so can’t attend clubs or participate in most activities appropriate for his age. This means his life outside of school has been until now very restricted to home and mum and dad, as we have another child we also need to accomodate and it’s hard to find activities they can both access. 

 

We’re looking for someone to take him for 4 hours per week on a weekend, generally out of the house, and take him to activities so that he can get some more experience of being with people outside of the immediate family. The types of activities might be things such as the cinema, going to the park, bowling and so on. 

 

There will be an opportunity for further babysitting or hours on top of the core 4 per week.

 

SEN experience would be ideal, as whilst my son is verbal and physically able, he sometimes needs additional support with his behaviour which could be tricky to navigate for someone without experience of autism. 

 

££ negotiable / competitive

Hello! My name's Ajax, I'm 18 and have lots of experience with SEN kids. Both my brother and partner have ASD and I myself have ADHD. I am available weekends starting 9th September, however if you have any weekday availability, I'm sure we could sort something out sooner.

    • is anyone getting rid of one or something similar?   thanks 
    • ?????? I have read through this thread and I am totally bemused. It had previously seemed to be a helpful thread, and I  don't want to send it any more off topic by responding to the last two posts by other forum members. Could someone (or admin) please PM me if they think I have stepped out of line and explain why, as recent comments seem to be directed at me and have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. This is a forum, and as in real life people are all  different, with different personalities and sensitivities, and react in different ways,  but the direction this thread has taken is very disappointing. ETA: If the two previous posters want to discuss the points they have made which aren't relevant to the subject of this thread, perhaps one or both of them could start a new thread or threads in the lounge? But probably this thread has come to an end  anyway. Thank you to the other posters for your useful information.
    • Please lmk if you have one for sale. Thanks 
    • I totally agree with jazzer having been “jumped on” by various members.. I try and help as that is the sort of person I am, but now will try hard  to just read and not reply.. was down right hurtful to have a comment made along the lines that as I was no longer as person supposed, in ED and moved somewhere else should just leave group. No longer sure what sort of people are on this group - certainly not as pleasant as it was 15 years  ago when people were pleasant, helpful and some things were a joke and much more  light hearted. Everyone has a right to their own opinion as it is a public forum- meaning anyone can join from where-ever but c maybe I have got that wrong as well / doesn’t matter as I will probably leave…
