Job Description

Hi, I'm seeking a minder for my son several days a week until I find work and then full time in the future. In Galway city area, in carer's own home/locally/outdoors. I prioritise outdoor play for him for movement, fresh air, for calming effect and it is less restrictive environment for him. So this important to me in your care they have opportunity to be outside. I believe in having as much embodied, free play and movement as possible to have a strong connection with ourselves and our senses and feelings and so to not be cut off from our own emotions and needs and destructive to ourselves and others later in life (especially for boys one day becoming men). Another priority is for whatever hes going through it's important that he has someone patient with him who understands the importance of sitting with all the emotions whatever happens, frustration, sad, happy, mad, excited so he knows its ok + so he trusts his own judgements and has less chance of burying himself off from his emotions later in life and harming others because of it, so he should not be distracted from whatever comes up. Presence is a really important value that I am raising him with and I would like this to be carried across with his other carers. He loves to be outside exploring and playing with others, figuring how things work. Loves trucks, tractors, diggers, animals, also figuring stuff out. He loves lots of other stuff too, music and arty activities so whatever interests you that you can bring to the table will be fab. The musts - no sugar/sweeteners/additives. This keeps his mood stable. - no gluten/wheat for his stomach history (pretty easy to avoid) - carer needs to prepare meals (lunch or/and dinner depending on hours) I can provide snacks in case he gets tired at the end of the day as it is important he doesnt take a nap during his care or it will disrupt his whole sleep schedule and that takes a long time to get back to routine. - no screens/tv/phone during his care. Like a few mins tv is ok but thats max. I want interactive care for him - no posing him for photographs. This is part of my raising him to not feel he has to do everything thats asked of him by adults and becomes like on auto mode doing things he doesnt want to do and ignoring his own needs (dont worry he is a really respectful kiddo) References will be required Several years experience of child care or relative care or neighbour care experience needed Reach out how many days you'd like to do, your interests, your plans this year or how long you're available to mind and your needs, and lets see can we match up. Open to discussing anything, any questions just ask :)
