Special Needs Care in Rochdale

| I have worked for the charity 'Bury Independent Living Development' for the last 5 years on a part time basis, as a 'Sessional Worker'. I ran the allotment group at Bury ILD for 4 years and currently I take a small group of adults with learning difficulties for meals out, cinema trips, drinks, etc on a Tuesday evening (as well as doing some garden maintenance work for two of the houses owned by Bury ILD where adults with learning disabilities live in managed accomodation. I took early retirement from my main previous career of some 36 years which was as an IT/electronics repair technician/engineer for companies such as ICL in Ashton, Siemens in Oldham and 17 years at the University of Manchester working in IT Services. I have worked my own allotment for 19 years and turned my hobby into a second career whilst semi retired. I don't offer 'personal care' but being a 'care companion' for adults with learning difficulties such as taking them out for shopping or meals, social activities or tutoring them in gardening - growing fruit and vegetables for example as I did on the Bury ILD allotment group. I have a caring attitude and believe in treating people with the same respect that I would wish to treated with.

| I'm a mother of 4 children, and good of taking care of children from a child to teenagers and my skills are patient, good communication, good understanding and capable of listening to children.

| Hi I am jen. I have been a childminder for 3 years but I have worked in childcare for the last 15 years I have experience of working with children from many different backgrounds with different experiences and abilities. I aim to ensure each child reaches their own full potential by providing a range of activities suited for each child's interests and abilities. When we can, we attend different groups and we enjoy going for walks in parks and through the woods. Anything else you would like to know, please message. I have a space available from September 2021
