Amazing nanny up for grabs

[madhvi mellish]

We are looking for a nanny share/ split for our amazing nanny Karen. Our two boys (Arun in year 5 and Rohan in year 2 at Heber) have had the privilege of having Karen look after them for over 5 years. The arrangement was initially sole charge but for the past 2.5 years we have had a very successful nanny share arrangement with a local family who due to a change of circumstances won?t be needing her care for much longer.

She has looked after our boys brilliantly and having a background as a nanny with another large family, a nursery manager, NVQ level 3 in childcare and a mother to three herself, she is an incredibly well rounded person with the professionalism to deal with the day to day demands of a busy working household in addition to the after school and school demands (often with some arduous hours- I?m a hospital doctor). This, combined with the know how to amuse and stimulate, with activities and fun days out for the boys and have an air of authority, has made her perfect for us. She has taken the complexities of managing a child with a severe nut allergy in her stride and has our absolute trust. We have had nannies before and none have come close in terms of her skills and abilities.

She is also DBS (previously CRB) checked and has first aid skills. She also knows East Dulwich well as she was born and brought up here.

She dearly wants to stay with our family but she is ready to take on another family ideally with a younger child needing care between the school hours and could also combine this with school runs to Heber for an older child. She works a 3-day week for us with an occasional flexible extra day but is looking to work a 4 day or 5 days week ideally. She is available to start in the new school year.

If you think you might be interested or know someone who is then please do give drop us a line/ PM me
