Does anyone have any experience of caring for a child with this?
I may potentially have a child to care for - 12months old.
Dad has explained she has cerebal palsy and subsequently feeding problems. she cannot support her own head.
this so far is all the information I have had. i am meeting with the parents and child on Wednesday morning.
The other query that I am going to speak to NCMA about is:
this work is in the childs own home due to equipment etc. I have stated that my prices would have to cover the loss of potentially three spaces daytime.
But another minder pointed out to me - where will I stand for insurance etc seeing as its not in my own home. What about learning journeys (although I was looking at that from the point of view that i will have to be looking at the Early Support sections) from Ofsteds point of view, risk assessments etc. She thinks that i will be considered more of a nanny but my insurance won't cover me. Now i know that babysitting via NCMA checklists cover you but this is a community network placement, payment coming from direct payments therefore will be on a normal contract as such.
With regard to cerebal palsy - anyone willing to share info with me I would be most grateful
