About KATHERINE

41 years old Speaks English Welsh
I am a Mum to a 9 year old boy who as ASD as well as a learning delay and cerebral palsy. He has auditory hypersensitivity. I am looking to return to work as he is now settled into full time school alongside my other son. I live in Rhiwbina in North Cardiff, although I do not drive I am more than willing to use public transport to get to desired locations. I have always had a keen interest in the care industry and this has become more heightened since I became my son's carer after he was born with a brain injury. Although I am not a professional carer in the sense that it is something I have done before as a living I have personal experience of ASD and other developmental delays in children. Pre covid I was a volunteer in my son's school where I would chaperone school trips and read with year 4 & 5 children on a weekly basis. I have lots and lots of patience and I am super calm under pressure. I am available to work during school hours, evenings and weekends.
