Job: Temporary
Nanny (Live-In) Ref:
V2379 |
Description: This family are looking for a
nanny to solely meet the needs of their son
so they can go away on holiday without worry!
The family have three children: Matthew (Maffy)
9, Nicholas 14, Meghan 15. Maffy is a small
9 year old boy, with global developmental
delay and mild autism. He wears pull-ups so
they will need to be changed. He is a very
happy little boy and loves company. He is
also epileptic and has drop fits, (not full
blown seizures), these can happen at any time
without warning but are over within 30 seconds.
He wears a soft helmet to avoid injury. Nicholas
and Meghan are pretty independent and the
children's grandmother will also be staying
so there will be plenty of people around who
know Maffy. Maffy does not speak but is not
a demanding child. For example, if he wants
something to eat, he will sit in his chair
in the kitchen and wait until you give him
something. He does not walk much rather he
runs which is fine if he is in an enclosed
area, i.e. the house or garden. He has no
sense of danger at all. The only difficult
time of the day with Maffy is bedtime. He
needs someone with him, to ensure his trousers
are kept on so that he doesn't take his pull-ups
off. Sometimes he goes to sleep fairly quickly,
other times it can take up to a couple of
hours for him to get off. Once he is asleep
he stays asleep (unless unwell). At this point
the nanny will be free to go to her accommodation
and the grandmother will be responsible overnight.
Maffy will be at school so there will be plenty
of free time during the day. Although the
position does not start until the end of September,
we would like to place someone sooner rather
than later so the family can book their flights.
