Nanny for 5-Year-Old Boy in Vasastan – Active and Engaged Nanny Wanted

Ref. 4296V A family in Vasastan is seeking a reliable, active, and engaged nanny for their soon-to-be 5-year-old son. The position is approximately 50% and the family is looking for a nanny who wants to become an important and trusted person in their son's daily life. Start as soon as possible. The son is a happy, charming, and adventurous boy with lots of personality. He is 100% non-verbal and has a low level of understanding, which means he doesn't always comprehend verbal instructions the way one might expect from a child his age. He has autism and will also be evaluated for ADHD this fall. The family emphasizes that the person working with him should not only see his diagnoses but see the boy he is – stubborn, determined, charming, curious, and full of energy. The son has a very high need for movement and is extremely active. For example, he rarely sits still while eating and moves constantly between different activities. He loves to sing, dance, play around, be tickled and carried, and he enjoys bathing very much. He is adventurous for better and worse and is very quick in his movements and turns. He is prone to running away and can suddenly sprint off, which means you can never take your eyes off him. It is therefore important that you are a person who enjoys being active with a child and who has no problem being on the floor a lot, getting up, and keeping pace with his tempo. The family is looking for a nanny who is physical, playful, and present. The current nanny spends a lot of time outside with him, and it is important that the new person also enjoys doing activities and getting out. At the same time, you need to be very attentive and always be one step ahead because he has no sense of consequences and can act quickly and impulsively. Part of the work will also involve following exercises and strategies that the family receives from a child psychologist or Autism Center. You don't need previous knowledge of autism or special education, but it is important that you are curious, interested, and willing to learn. The current nanny, for example, attends appointments with the child psychologist to learn how best to support the son in his daily life. The son also has sleep difficulties and can be awake for several hours on some nights. During an overnight stay, for example, he might be awake between 1:00 AM–5:00 AM, and then the nanny needs to be prepared to be up with him. The family may also need help with VAB (vård av barn – parental leave for child care) when the son sometimes needs to stay home from preschool. It's not necessarily because he is sick, but because he sometimes needs a break from preschool and its many stimuli. The family has also noticed that he sleeps better in the summer when he is away from preschool, and going forward, more time with the nanny and less time at preschool may become relevant. Work Hours The position is approximately 50%, with great flexibility. The family has a shared calendar where they enter their needs, and the nanny then enters when she can and wants to work. The work will mainly consist of: Weekend shifts: Saturday 5:00 PM to Sunday 11:00 AM, including overnight stay. Not every weekend, approximately every other weekend. One weekday night: approximately 5:00 PM to 8:00 AM/9:00 AM, including drop-off at preschool in the morning. VAB and extra time may occur as needed. Travel with the family may occur, and since the son turns 5 in October, travel could become relevant at any time during the year. The family currently has a nanny who works every other weekend and is therefore looking for an additional person to complement this arrangement. The position is primarily focused on the son and his needs. It may also include simple meal preparation as well as tidying up after his activities and helping to restore the kitchen after dinner when possible, especially after the son has fallen asleep. This is a position for you who really enjoy working closely with a child, who have lots of energy, and who want to be active, playful, and engaged. You need to be reliable, attentive, and responsible, but also able to appreciate all the fun and charm that the family's son has to offer. The family has no large social network to help and is therefore looking for a nanny who can become a reliable and important part of their daily life.
