About You

You are someone that is calm, patient, kind and fun with a firm but fair approach to setting and sticking to boundaries. Very organised and structured, finding joy in building a routine for kids to thrive in.

With an understanding of and experience with SEN, you’ll be able to navigate and bring a sense of consistency and safety to our home.

It is likely that you value a tidy house and can balance that with creating a feel that the home is lived in.

We (well the kids may need a little more encouragement ?) are all about gut health, nutrional eating, increasing protein, understanding our supplement requirements, and avoiding processed and refined sugar foods where possible. If you share this passion for good fuels for the body and enjoy cooking wholesome dinners and tasty healthy snacks, then you are just what we need.
