Hi Maggie I will speak to her on Tuesday and then PM you. She is thorough and I'm very happy with what she does. I got her through my friend so she was a recommendation. We are a family of 5 so the house is quite big 3 floors - 5 beds, 2 baths plus downstairs and she does a great job in the time. I always love coming home on the days she cleans. It makes my job so much easier as all I do for the rest of the week is hoover the odd time when my kids feel like being messy, which is most of the time! Will be in touch and thanks once again

Maggie I'm sure she would love to take this job - she travels anywhere and is VERY reliable. I have never known her NOT turn up and if she can't make it - there's only been one occasion - we rearranged and it was fine. I am seeing her on Tuesday and want to tell her - I will send you a personal message with her mobile no once I've done this if you are OK with this? I would be sooo happy if you took her on. She would love it if you can speak to her in Russian too - she's so sad about what's happening in the Ukraine and I try to talk to her but it's so hard! She's really warm and kind. Thanks sooooo much - you've made my day!!!

Hello! Thanks for replying. I'll be honest - I'm not sure that this is enough for her and she's looking for a weekly slot. She currently does 16 hours a month approx for us so ideally I'd love to find her the equivalent. Of course the new person has to like her and vice versa so nothing is set in stone but I want to be able to give her the bad news and then the good news of a contact and a smiliar job etc. Re the day it would be something you'd have to negotiate with her as I'm not sure what else she does other than clean for my friend on a Monday in Penge. Is there anyway you would want weekly rather than monthly? I know we pay her ?40 and that is quite a lot but even if it was ?30 I think she'd be OK with that. I will bear this in mind but if it's OK I'd like to try and find a bit more for her.

Hi all We currently live in Streatham Hill but my cleaner will travel as she also cleans for a friend in Penge. She's a lovely Ukranian lady and as of January we are moving to Kent so will no longer have a job for her. I would love to find a job to replace us with as I think she is such a nice person and works REALLY hard. She is amazing with my kids as well and will cluck over them when she sees them. She's also really thoughtful and bought them some little presents for them on their birthday. She is a mother too but her kids are young adults. She currently cleans for me once a week for 4 hours at ?10 an hour. She would most likely do ironing etc but I have never asked her as our I just need her to clean! Would anyone like to take her on from Jan? She comes on a Tuesday from 9 until 1pm. I haven't told her we are leaving yet but wanted to tell her that I had found another job for her. She doesn't speak much Emglish but we still muddle by and I've got know her quite well over the last year. I initially used google translate to show her what I needed doing which she really appreciated! I would ask friends but everyone I know who wants a cleaner has one. Please let me know and I can talk more and give details. Thanks very much

Both my children go to Oakfield and my youngest is in the nursery. They are both very happy there and I have to say the nursery is excellent. He went when he was only two and his developemnt has come on at a pace since being there - a stark difference from the nursery he was at before this. I would suggest if you are looking for entry this September that you call asap as I know places get very booked up - they may even be full for this year. Once you are in then the child is able to progress up until they leave for secondary school. I know there are lots of other schools in the area (both private and state) but we liked Oakfield for the atmosphere. It is warm and caring and not like some of the other preps that are very hot-house in their attitide. We also like the cultural mix. I would definitely recommend it but you should have a look for yourself.
