Looking for a live in aupair to start end May/June


Recommended Posts

Hi, my lovely aupair is moving on so I am now looking for someone fun, calm and flexible to take care of my two cheeky boys, Max (9) and Ben (7). Start date flexible but ideally end May/beginning June. Duties would include getting the children up (7am), washed, dressed and fed then taking them to school (10 mins walk) during term time. During the summer holidays I would need some help as they will be with their dad half the time and with me the rest but I work from home so would love you to take them out to the park for a few hours when I have them. During term time you would be free from about 09.15 when you could attend a language course if you wanted to but would need to be on hand if they were sick and were unable to attend school. Once a week it would be great if you could also pick them up from school but this is flexible.


Other duties would include ironing (approx 1 hr per week), keeping the children?s bedroom clean and tidy, putting their clothes away, and changing their bedsheets and general help around the house keeping it tidy (we have a cleaner). I would also require 2 week nights babysitting per week and one weekend every couple of weeks (I am a single mum so the boys stay with their dad every other weekend).


I have a lovely home near Dulwich hospital, the school is a 10 min stroll away and the train station is 7 mins walk (zone 2). You do not need to drive but need to have good English and a patient manner but be able to be firm with the boys. Non smoker preferred. You will have your own loft room complete with double bed, sofa, coffee table, wifi and tv and your own shower room (unless we have guests staying which is very rare!).


You will also receive 4 weeks paid holiday a year which I would like you to take when we take ours where possible. Please PM me for details of salary.


If you are interested in this position and would like to know more I look forward to hearing from you. References will be required, experience in looking after children is preferred and ideally you will already be based in London or nearby and be available to interview in person.


Many thanks

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
