What we offer

Specialist care, not a generic promise

Many families tell us they’d almost given up finding a sitter who could confidently care for their child. That’s exactly the gap we fill. Our SEN sitters have real, relevant experience — many work in special schools and additional-needs settings by day — so they arrive understanding routines, communication, sensory needs and how to help a child feel safe.

Experience across a range of needs, including:

AutismADHDSpeech & language delayDevelopmental delay Cerebral palsy
…and more — just tell us about your child and we’ll match accordingly.
