My duties included sole charge of the boys keeping them in their routine set by mum and working on a discipline/behaviour strategies with the parents. As well as weening, cooking and supporting their sleeping routine. I took the boys to access music, swimming and age related activities and classes both indoors and outdoors.

I plan a well balanced plan for the holidays including outings out to Museums, swimming, nature parks as well as home arts and crafts, cooking, outdoor sports and imaginative games; dress up, role play.

I was previously a nanny to a girl 3 and an autistic boy 5. I had sole care of the two children and did all childcare duties such as school run, three nutritional meals, activities, washing and educational activities. I used sign language and Picture Exchange Communication with the 5 year old. We followed a very structured routine helping the autistic child to focus. We have over come a lot of food barriers and developed widely in communication and play. The younger child has developed independent skills and enjoys play dates and outings such as swimming, theme parks and picnics. I help with light household chores and give mum support with juggling work and motherhood. I also babysit for them.

I cook nutritional meals, general chores, laundry and light housework. They had a structured routine that can be flexible due to the baby. I started work in February 2012 and left at the end of April 2012 due to myself and the family not bonding.
