Hi


Help!


We've got two kids (7 and 10) and I'm about to start a job three days a week. The kids are at two separate schools and rather than put them in after school clubs etc, I'd really like them to be able to come home and do homework/music/relax etc as they have enough clubs already in the rest of the week


When the kids were younger we were in a brilliant nanny share for 6 years in total but that was 4 days a week. That nanny can't do after school though as she's in a new share.


I've had an au pair before and we considered it but for the hours we actually need, it's too much.


Is it possible to find someone to do this? It's the actual picking up which seems to be the sticking point.


Advice gratefully received!

As the older one is 10, would they be able to come home from school alone? This may make it easier to find someone who does one pick-up and then brings them back home and supervises both doing homework. Perhaps a sixth former could do this as secondary schools tend to start and finish earlier than primaries.

    • Take your own meter readings and properly document the condition of the property when you leave. The LL won’t have a case to claim against your deposit without a sign in inventory. Not having an EPC is largely irrelevant- if you report him he might get a fine but you are unlikely to get compensation. 
    • Thank you both. Inexperience Landlord trying to save  a few pennies - hence no agent involved. The issue is the fact that it is my understanding that without an EPC that is current then they should not have rented the property - far  more to the point and taken rent from me. They commissioned an EPC 4 weeks & I am still waiting for or a copy!!! No gas in property. Well I guess it will be a case of instructing solicitors which I have tried to avoid doing but as they are not responding at all, I have no choice. If I am correct about EPC then it will cost them alot more than refunding me my rent.            
    • Went there a couple of weeks ago and had their set lunch menu - very good value and generous portions. Sea bream was delicious .
    • Some years ago, one of our dogs ate something dropped by rubbish bins outside a local café and haemorrhaged. Rushed to emergency vet in Streatham, who suggested that someone, worried about rats getting into rubbish bins may have put down poison. Our dog died the next day. Consequently, any dog we had afterwards wore a muzzle to stop them picking up food.
