About the Client/Child
Rowen (6) is a happy, loving little boy who enjoys splashing in water, spending time outdoors, soft play, and watching Peppa Pig. His younger brother, Jake (3), is very chatty and loves playing with his small world toys. Rowen is autistic, non-verbal, and has a global developmental delay with limited understanding. He currently wears nappy pants and requires full support with all aspects of his personal care. He communicates using AAC and PECS, and many of his frustrations or meltdowns are linked to challenges around communication, or triggers such as sudden noises or interactions with his younger brother. During moments of dysregulation, Rowen may bite his hands and occasionally attempt to bite the person supporting him. Offering safe movement breaks (for example, jumping in a controlled space) or some screen time usually helps him to regulate fairly quickly.

The Role at a Glance
This lovely family are seeking an extra pair of hands at weekends to help ease the challenges of balancing the different needs of their two children. Finding activities that suit both can be tricky, often leading to stress for everyone. Your main focus will be supporting Rowen, giving mum and dad the chance to enjoy improved quality time with both children. Some days this may involve accompanying the family on outings, with the flexibility to take Rowen out of the situation if it becomes overwhelming. On other days, it might mean planning and organising tailored activities designed specifically for Rowen, ensuring he is engaged and supported. When out and about Rowen will need very close monitoring as he has little awareness of danger.

This Job Would Suit
This role would suit a cheerful, positive, calm, patient, and proactive SEN nanny with experience supporting a child who is autistic and non-verbal. The ideal person will be confident using AAC/PECS, adaptable to different family routines, and able to step in with creativity and initiative—whether that’s supporting Rowen during a family outing or planning fun, tailored activities at home. Someone who can bring calm, consistency, and reassurance will make a real difference to both Rowen and the whole family’s weekend experience.

Why You’ll Love This Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to family life while creating and enjoying fun, tailored activities with Rowen. The family are supportive and committed and are happy to fund specialist training or additional courses to help you provide the best support for Rowen and to develop your own skills.
