About the role/family: SENNIES is excited to support a warm family of five based in SW11 in their search for a dedicated SEN Nanny. The family have three children, G10, B7, and B3, all with additional needs and requiring consistent, structured, and nurturing support. G10 and B7 attend Honeywell Junior School, and B3 attends Marmalade Cat nursery. G10 has ADHD and takes daily medication to support focus and emotional regulation. B7 also has ADHD with higher support needs, and the family are currently exploring medication alongside a holistic support approach. B3 has Mosaic Down syndrome and receives ongoing support from occupational therapy and speech and language therapy, alongside regular appointments and check-ins.

This role involves supporting all three children with school and nursery runs, after-school activities, meals, home learning, and child-related housekeeping, while maintaining a calm and predictable routine. A key focus is supporting emotional regulation and behaviour, particularly during transitions, sibling dynamics, and challenging moments. The family use structured routines, clear boundaries, and positive reinforcement strategies, including reward systems, which the Sennie will be expected to follow consistently. The Sennie will also support B3 with calm, play-based developmental activities and practical strategies recommended by therapists, while ensuring G10 and B7 receive appropriate emotional and behavioural support tailored to their needs. Strong organisation, proactive planning, and the ability to manage multiple needs calmly and confidently are essential.

The family value a warm, emotionally intelligent candidate who can build strong relationships with the children and maintain a supportive, well-structured environment. Responsibilities also include meals, tidying, laundry, activity planning, and clear daily communication with parents.
This role can be live-out or remote live-in, with accommodation provided in a separate family-owned property in SW17 if live-in is preferred. Occasional overnight stays at the family home may also be required. The role is approximately 40 hours per week with one evening of babysitting weekly by arrangement.
