Nursery World - Special nannies

For nannies who want to specialise in special needs, Snap! Childcare is a new agency recruiting carers who wish to work with children who have a disability or illness. Co-founder Sally Britton, an NNEB-trained nanny who had 12 years experience working with special needs, says Snap! can place nannies in positions ranging from mother's helps to sole charge, depending on experience, and from its base in London it will be providing a nationwide service. Already, says Sally, the parents she's been in contact with have expressed relief to find such an agency, suggesting that there's a great demand out there that hasn't been met so far. The agency will also supply the nannies and the families with up-to-date information on the support and services available to them, and has just published its first newsletter with contacts, specialists childcare tips and items for sale. Snap! can be contacted on 020 7729 2200.
