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.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      Today we are seeing the impact of increased taxes (employers NI) with tje UK unemployment rate rising  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrp7znkdlo Unfortunately, to increase tax burdens will see the economy stall or a recession, as Angelina says, cutting spending, whilst painful short term, is a good way to bring down government borrowing.  True, we don't want to see cuts to services but there are other areas of government spending that can be reduced and with AI impacting all jobs across all businesses, maybe it will also reduce overall staffing costs.

      or cut costs.  The cost of debt is a huge burden, it cannot be increased.

      Yes, they should clearly have been more honest on taxes before the election and not backed themselves into a corner. After 14 years of mismanagement and decline, they have to invest and at the same time start to bring borrowing down (otherwise they continues to be at the mercy of the bond markets). Continued cuts / degrading of public services is counter productive (a successful economy and society needs good infrastructure, education and health care).  The single biggest thing they could do to immediately improve growth would be to rejoin the single market, but I appreciate that is difficult politically.  So if you can't significantly boost growth short term, can't cut too much further, and need to raise money without borrowing, that only really leaves taxation.    Of course, where best to target those taxes - that's the real question.
