Ella is a gorgeous, sweet and extremely loveable 8 month old who loves babbling, classical music and receiving lots of cuddles and attention. She has a big brother called Monty who is 2 years old. Ella arrived in the world at 34 weeks, she has Cerebral Palsy and is fed via a Nasal Gastric tube.
The family are looking for a confident Waking Night Nanny to assist them on weekday nights. Ella is currently feeding every 3 hours via her NG tube. She seems to feed better when asleep, otherwise she has severe reflux. Ella sleeps surrounded by pillows and fluffy Toys to make her more comfortable, however as she is prone to sleeping in awkward positions and a monitor is used to check her breathing throughout the night. The family will have tea/coffee facilities and a mini-fridge close by.
This position is a 3 month position initially to enable the family to find their feet, if this needs to be extended they will discuss this with you. This job will suit someone who is quietly confident, calm, and extremely caring.
You must have at least 2 years’ experience supporting babies or young children, be confident with an NG Tube and have worked waking nights previously. The family would love to take the children on a holiday in the future, so someone who potentially could accompany them would be a big advantage. This family has a strict no smoking policy due to their daughter’s respiratory problems.
This is a wonderful opportunity to join a strong family network who are at the beginning of their journey.
