PA for a 7 year old child – 6 hours per week (POSTED 02.04.2025)

Registered Childminder Needed – Regular Evenings & Some Holiday Support – Fratton, Portsmouth (£16/hr self-employed, £12.60/hr if employed by us)

"Hi, I’m Faye, a single parent to my amazing 7-year-old son. He’s full of curiosity, with a deep love for trains, cars, and anything transport-related. My son has a rare genetic disorder and attends an inclusion unit due to complex learning difficulties.

I’m looking for a kind and reliable person to help with regular evening childcare (6 hours per week, split over two evenings from 4:30 – 7:30 PM). I can be flexible on which evenings, and ideally, you’d also have some availability during school holidays.

About the Role:

Preferably self-employed with your own insurance (£16 per hour, paid monthly).

If employed by myself, the rate would be £12.60 per hour.

Based at our home.

Playing, engaging with my son, and starting his bedtime routine.

Occasionally taking him to local activities or the park.

Supporting him with personal care.

About my son:

He’s 7 years old and absolutely loves trains, cars, and all things vehicles!

He has learning difficulties and uses PECS symbols for supporting his verbal communication & understanding.

He’s a happy little boy but sometimes needs support with emotional regulation.

While he can display challenging behaviors at home, he typically does not exhibit them at school or with external support providers.

If you have experience with children with learning difficulties and feel you could connect with him, I’d love to hear from you.

Warm regards,
Faye
