We are two families based in East Dulwich/Peckham Rye and have enjoyed being part of a very successful nanny share with a wonderful nanny for our two firstborn sons for the last 2.5 years. It has been a joy seeing our boys grow up together. Both our families have recently each welcomed a new addition ? so we have a new set of baby boys in our nanny share! As both mothers are returning to work in September/October, and both our toddlers starting full time nursery in September, we would need to ?tweak the existing share? so we can continue this exceptional match of families and nannies. We are looking to add a set of helping hands who would be doing one toddler?s nursery pick ups, and join the rest of the bunch for the after school hours. Specifically, we are looking for a live-out nanny who will be able to do the pick up at 3 and join our current nanny to give her a helping hand with tea and bath time for all four children (eldest both 3 years old; one 9 month and one 7 month old) before dropping two siblings back home (5 min drive from nanny share location). This part time role would be ideally suited for a person/student motivated to gain nanny experience whilst completing studies or having other work commitments. Responsibilities will include: -Pick up from school -Sometimes preparing meals -Bathing the children -Getting the children ready for bed -Would potentially suit someone studying for their childcare NVQ or similar -There would be the opportunity to babysit on weekday evenings and weekends too, or expand hours by helping out with morning routine and morning school drop off Total Hours: 21 hours a week, potentially increased to 28 if also doing mornings, with potential to increase more via regular babysitting in evenings/weekends 3am pick up to 7 / 730 pm, with potentially add on 7.30 to 9 am morning routine Apart from the mornings, evenings will mostly be working alongside our current nanny. Clean driving licence and own car preferred. First aid and dbs. If you think this might work for you please PM me. Thanks

I would like to add my recommendation for Critter Solutions Pest Control to this forum. Roger is in the process of helping us tackle a stubborn mouse infestation that was frankly driving me nuts and was clearly requiring a professional service- and we could not thank him enough. He has been very professional from first contact, has always been very clear about how he works, including pricing, and has been very flexible working around our busy family?s time table with regards to his visits. He clearly knows his stuff, is very friendly in contact, answered my many questions with regards to pet/child safety, and is serious about ?getting the job done?- so much so he offers a 18 month warranty! Contact details: +44 7518 577977 C.

I contacted Janviere following recommendations on the EDF - and I have not been disappointed! She was very professional and accommodating (catering to my very short notice request), highly professional and the cut is amazing! She is clearly a great hairdresser, and on top of it a nice, calm and friendly person - who is QUICK! So I would really highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a great mobile hairdresser!

I wanted to recommend James Carmichael, a fantastic handyman! He completed some (annoying) plumbing jobs for us recently and some electric work last year - and I cannot recommend enough. James is very professional, friendly, reliable and 'gets the job done' - no matter how tedious it turns out to be (James went out of his way to find the right part of a less common bathroom tap, which involved travelling all over London on his Saturday)! His work is to a very high standard, and his communication is impeccable. I realise this sounds like I have shares in the James Carmichael enterprise, yet although I would not mind, I don't and this is a sincere recommendation. Highly recommended - James Carmichael 07971 992899.

And another latecomer! We welcomed our son end of October and it has been a pretty hectic adventure so far! Would also like to meet up and meet some mums! However, I am one of those weirdos that doesn't have a FB account- so not sure whether I could maybe join the WhatsApp group? C x

Just want to enthusiastically second Liam as a fairly priced and very skilful (and just generally nice) electrician; he was extremely flexible (could come round at very short notice), worked quick and did a super neat job! So definitely also 5 stars from me! Celine
