About Melanie

34 years old Speaks English
I am a Community Paediatric Complex Care Nurse with extensive experience working with special needs children. I am also a Mum with 2 boys, currently 5 and 3. I know how hard it can be for families to find appropriate childcare, especially when your child has additional care needs, so if I can help in anyway please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I have over 11 years of experience as a paediatric nurse including PICU and A&E. I have spent the last 7 years working in the community with complex care and special needs children providing respite care. I have extensive experience working with a variety of behavioural and physical care needs, using a range of medical devices such as PEG/J, tracheostomy and ventilation as well as moving and handling, and medication administration. I have a full enhanced DBS check on the update service, current NMC registration and Royal College of Nursing indemnity insurance. I am available for adhoc cover anytime of day or night around my other nursing commitments. I have a 2 hour minimum and a 12 hour maximum shift time. £15 per hour 7am - 9pm £20 per hour 9pm - 7am
