About the family: SENNIES are looking forward to finding an understanding, fun loving and supportive Sennie to take care of G8 in Ealing, West London, providing her after school care. The family requires a Sennie who can demonstrate prior experience supporting primary aged children with additional needs who can really understand G8’s individual needs and traits. The family are very supportive and care a great deal about ensuring their daughter is being given the right adaptations she needs in order to thrive.
About G8: G8 is a funny, clever and sensitive young girl with varied interests - she loves indoor skiing, is an avid reader, really enjoys imaginative play and water-based activities and building/making things with LEGO.
G8 is currently undergoing specialist assessments to determine the best approach, strategies for support and ultimately official diagnosis for G8. It is highly likely that she is Autistic, but it has been suggested that her high levels of anxiety could also indicate Pathological Demand Avoidance.
G8’s key areas for development and support are:
- Continuing to encourage G8’s social interactions and coping strategies
- Positive and patient support through meltdowns and emotional dysregulation
- Supporting G8 with homework/schoolwork
- Understanding her delays with processing and reactions to demands
- Encouraging G8 to try new things with a calm and gentle approach
- Finding strategies for / redirecting G8 when she becomes anxious or frustrated
About the role: The selected Sennie will provide after school and holiday care on a sole-charge basis. Due to COVID-19 parents may be working from home, however the Sennie should behave as though this is a sole-charge position.
The Sennie should have an understanding and patient approach, whilst also proactively taking an interest in learning about G8 and helping her to discover new tactics that will allow her to thrive and self-regulate in a positive way. The Sennie should be a role model and companion for G8 and encourage her development whilst being aware of her individual needs.

- School pick-up daily
- Organising and encouraging play dates
- Taking G8 to after school activities (Driver required for this)
-Preparing Dinner
