Hi!


Just seen your post about your au pair local for local friends. Not exactly a response I'm afraid, but we live in Brockley and are considering hiring an au pair Anto provide childcare to two toddlers 3 days a week, and I was wondering if you would be happy to share details of how you found your au pair (e.g. Through an agency or website), what childcare she provides, how long she has/will be with you for, how much you pay her and whether you would recommend having an au pair? Sorry to bother you - but any answers would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,


My name is Jane Jones, I'm 18 years old and keen to keep up my Spanish through conversation exchange with people in the local area. I have sent you an email with further details but I'd love to meet your au pair in a cafe or something!


Best wishes,

Jane.

We found ours through aupairworld.com. Can't recommend it high enough so far. We were warned of agencies by many so stayed clear of them, but others might have better experience. Happy to give you more details and a run down if you'd like to chat. We're based in Nunhead. PM to chat.

Thanks

Simone

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
