Looking for after school pick-up from local School (around 3.15pm) and 3 hours of care (until 6:15pm) for our 4yo autistic son. He is a very happy and active boy who is easily entertained. We would like someone to do pick and take him in the community after school, where there are lots of activities he enjoys within easy walking distance (all within half a mile) from the school, such as the local park, soft play, library or swimming. In the winter, we are happy for carers to take him home and do activities in our home as well, as we live within this half mile area. His care needs are relatively simple, as he enjoys chatting with his carers, is happy to hold hands and walk places, loves to run around in the park or soft play, or read and have hot chocolate at cafes. His main care needs are around toileting (he is still in nappies), and ensuring his safety while he is out, as he has some challenges in understanding danger, but this has been improving rapidly over the course of this year. He is receptive to new carers looking after him and many report his lovable nature. We are looking for someone who is warm, patient and has experience looking after primary school age autistic children. Our main priority is for our son to spend quality time during the after-school hours with someone who is interested in his well-being and development. An understanding of the needs of autistic children is a must!

Single mum needs help caring for Teddy (8) special needs and Caspar 5. Need help after school and some evenings.

We urgently require help caring for our son who recently had to spend 3 days in hospital due to complications arising from his severely restricted diet. L is non verbal and has been suffering more acute anxiety symptoms of late which require a sensitive understanding of his autism. L can be very cuddly and loving but stress makes him act out his more aggressive tendencies. Be aware, this is not the norm but candidates need to be aware that slapping, kicking and throwing objects is part of autism. It is worth noting that when he is engaged and entertained these behaviours are rarely present. This is entirely the point of our reaching out. With a newborn baby in the household and a teenager half the month my partner and I are drowning in tasks and the specialist needs of each child are proving difficult to meet. Our own needs as parents and partners are even more forgotten. We need a person qualified to deal with severe autism. Somebody with a bright and bubbly disposition will really get on well with L. He loves walking in nature, picking leaves, swimming, driving and seeing new places. As such a driving license is essential. His mood is linked to your mood. If you smile, he might not smile with you, but he will smile inside, and eventually his positive mood leaks out! It really is rewarding when it does. L will need pads changed although daytime ones are usually all just wet. Carer's not changing pads has been a major source of his unrest when returning from official carer sessions (social work). His comfort and hygiene are crucial to his mood when out and about. He may also need meals prepared which simply consist of dairylea on white toast. Our holy grail of care is to reduce L high anxiety levels such that he feels curious enough to try some new foods. Any candidate with dietary/nutrition experience would be highly regarded but what we mostly need is a patient, kindly, fun loving soul who can match L energy levels. We are very open to negotiating hours and schedules. Please don't be put off if the schedule of hours proposed is insufficient. It was merely an opening gambit. Pinch points in the week are mornings, evenings (off school bus) and weekends. L is bored with his current care package and needs exciting new activities. He has a safe space that he retreats to when unsettled and anxious and he has been spending more and more time there at the weekend, which means the family are housebound.
