Gauging interest in childcare option (term-time, 10:00-14:30 Mon-Fri) - suit freelancers?


Recommended Posts

We are trying to find ways that we can keep our AMAZING nanny on from September 2018 when all 3 of our children will be in school full-time.


Our nanny has been with us for over 4 years and is seriously the best nanny out there - other parents and teachers at our children's school comment on how amazing she is.


I am wondering if anyone would theoretically be interested in a nanny-share from 10:00 to 14:30 Mon-Fri during term-time? Could be at our house or yours, if it was easy enough for our nanny to then collect our children from school by 15:20 (we live near Dulwich Library and our children's school is near Honor Oak).


Keen to understand if there is any market out there for this kind of arrangement!

Thanks! Geography will probably be a pretty important consideration because our nanny doesn't drive.


In terms of cost, we hadn't worked it out exactly. A sole charge full-time nanny usually costs around ?14-?15/hour including taxes. I imagined this arrangement coming in a bit less due to the limitations on hours. So perhaps in the region of ?12/hour?


We could also be a bit flexible, if there were occasional days when care needed to extend beyond those hours as our nanny could probably juggle our 3 (school age) plus one other in a pinch. And similarly for occasional extra hours in school holidays.

    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
