Special needs nannies
We believe that families with children who have additional needs deserve exceptional nannies who are committed to providing the very best care and services available.
In Mary Poppins Services as a well-established special needs nanny agency we specialize in all kind of childcare that any family may need, and not only in Marbella & Sotogrande, but also in the whole Costa del Sol & Gibraltar.
Our special needs nannies are experienced and can help children with building confidence, setting goals, providing appropriate activities, teaching specific skills helping their further development, teaching non-disabled siblings how to interact with a special needs child, watching for signs of any aggressive behaviour and intervening quickly. Our special needs nannies are aware of special needs children’s limitations but also help them reach their full potential. They are flexible, fun, energetic and possess the ability to remain calm.
They have a genuine interest in working with children with complex medical needs. They have a pure love for these special children, learning every day from them and knowing that they need cuddles, comfort and quiet time at home.
All our candidates have a minimum of 3 years childcare experience or have a suitable childcare qualification. We interview all our candidates and check their references with previous employers and certificates thoroughly.
We can offer live in or live out nannies, according to your kid special needs.
