I have 10 years experience working with children and young people with very complex needs mainly autism and challenging behaviour. Some of the young people I support also have developmental delays, speech and language difficulties and other health issues such as epilepsy. I started off my career working in a childrens home and then decided to teach in a special needs school for children with autism. During my time I have gained a level 3 qualification in children and young people in care and I’m currently undergoing an Education and teacher training course to further my knowledge. My younger sister is autistic and is a carrier of fragile x syndrome so I’ve have grown up in an environment where I have needed to help support my family and with that it has enabled me to deal with stressful situations and become resilient to behaviours and complex needs. I am currently a nanny for an 11 year old boy with autism and care for him in the family home aswell as being a nanny for his 9 year old sister who is not on the spectrum. I also support and teach a 14 year old boy with autism and ADHD, I am fun, and energetic and can remain calm and professional in stressful situations. My only availability is Wednesdays and Friday days.
