About the Client/Child

Lucas, 7.5 years old, is an affectionate and energetic little boy who lives with his mum, dad and older sister Sara, 11. Lucas is physically strong and active; he enjoys trampolining, swimming and visiting local parks. He also enjoys coffee shops, books, characters, audio stories and TV shows. Lucas is autistic and non‑verbal, with developmental delay. He attends a specialist SEN school with full time 1:1 support. He receives both speech and language therapy (SALT) and occupational therapy (OT) as part of his education. To support his communication, Lucas uses an AAC device (Proloquo) on his iPad. He needs assistance modelling how to express his wants and needs. Lucas loves his food; he requires support to feed himself. He also requires prompting and support when using the bathroom. Lucas was very recently diagnosed with epilepsy so is being supported with medication twice daily.

The Role at a Glance

Lucas’s weekend SEN Nanny/Manny will support him in the activities he enjoys. Weekends are split between London and the family’s Kent home, including swimming lessons, trampoline parks and trips to local playgrounds. The role includes driving him to activities and providing attentive supervision throughout. At times, the SEN Nanny will have sole charge of Lucas, while at other times, the role will involve shared experiences, such as family outings to the park. Weekends are planned in advance, with three consecutive weekends on duty followed by one weekend off. Hours are 9:00am to 7:00pm; no duties are required between 7:00pm and 9:00am. The current SEN Nanny travels to Canterbury on Saturday mornings; the home is conveniently located a short distance from the train station, or parking is available. When working in Kent, the family provides comfortable overnight accommodation on a private floor with your own bedroom and bathroom.
