How It Works

1

Initial Enquiry

Contact me to discuss your child's needs and the support you're looking for.

2

Meet & Greet

I'll arrange a meet and greet at your home (or chosen location) so your child can meet me in a relaxed environment. For families who live further away, we can arrange an initial video call.

3

Care Plan & Booking

We'll create a personalised care plan documenting your child's routines, preferences, and important information, then arrange your first booking.

4

Ongoing Support

After each session, I provide feedback on your child's time. Care plans can be updated as your child's needs evolve.
