Hi there,

My name is Diana, I am a 24yo qualified SEN teacher,currently waiting for the equivalation of my qualifications in the UK. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get some UK references, by helping you with your children.
I was a SEN nanny in my country (Romania) and also in Spain, but I'm fairly new to the UK, which means I don't have UK references (and they seem to be VERY important around here..). I also have au-pair experience (Republic of Ireland) and did some SEN teaching back in my country.
I have the right to work in the UK, and I am waiting for my papers to be sorted in order to be able to find a decent job as a Learning Support Assistant/ SEN nanny. I am planning to get further training in ABA therapy, Makaton, PECS, and I will also study towards a Master's degree in Education (distance learning), once I can afford it.

I have experience with:
*Aspergers/Autism
*Cerebral palsy
*Difficult behaviour
*Phisical disability
*Brain injury
*Down sindrome
*Aphasia, dyslexia
*Speech and Language therapy

I'm looking for either a familly willing to help me with references in exchange for nanny work, or a familly willing to employ me.

I am an easy-going person, i have a nice personality, a nurturing nature, I love beeing able to help...and I live for children :).

I am married to an Engineer, I have a younger, disabled brother back in my country...and many friends :).

I'm really flexible in terms of work, I am happy to help, and never work "with my eyes on the watch". I don't mind hard work, I'm more then used to it.
I have strong knowledge of healthy nutrition, I enjoy cooking, and cleaning relaxes me.
I take pride in my work and really like feeling that I can do someones life easier.

I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, physically fit, unfortunately can't drive but planning to get my driving licence this year

If you think we can help eachother...please contact me!

Thank you,Diana

Lovely Offer Diana,

Where in the UK are you based? Or where would you be prepared to live?

Deeanna · 18/01/2011 14:55

Hi IndigoBell, thanks for your reply.
I live in East London (forgot to mention it), and I am willing to travel pretty much anywhere for the right position.
Have a great day!
