Amazing nanny up for grabs


Recommended Posts

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

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
