Looking for a live in au pair to start end May/beginning June


Recommended Posts

Morning, my lovely au pair has just told me he is going off to America so I am sadly looking for a new au pair. He will be leaving us at the end of May so am looking for someone to start beginning of June ideally (unfortunately I am away the Bank holiday weekend). I am a single mum with two amazing boys (9 and 11) who go to the local schools (Bessemer and Charter). I have the boys 9 days out of every 14 so am looking for someone to get them up in the mornings (7am) on the days I have them and take Ben to school (starts at 9am) (Max goes on his own). I would also need pick ups on Monday, Tues, Thur and Fridays of the days I have them and to take them to the park or help with homework till 17.30. I work from home Tues-Thurs and go to the office Mondays and Fridays. Some flexibility needed for example on inset days or when children are sick.


During the summer holidays I would need a bit more help when I am working but am quite flexible. You would received 4 weeks paid holiday a year, ideally taken when we take ours but if not with enough notice for me to organise alternative childcare.


I would need someone to babysit 2-3 nights a week (very rarely would this be a weekend night) and to do minimal ironing (1hr a week). We have a cleaner but I would like someone to make sure the boys room is clean and tidy and clothes put away and beds changed regularly.


I have a lovely home near Dulwich hospital, the school is a 10 min walk or 5 min cycle and the station is a 7 min walk. You don't need to drive but need to have good English and a patient manner but be able to be firms with the boys. Non smoker required. You will have your own loft room complete with double bed, sofa, wifi, TV and your own shower room (unless we have guests staying which is very rare!)


I am looking for someone with previous au pair experience ideally, who is currently in the UK and can come for an interview. Salary upon request.


If you are interested or know someone please send me a message


Many thanks


Jacqui, Max and Ben

    • I may be a scrooge but to pay over £100 plus for a meal is a bit much. I understand that staff costs would be a high factor in this price and that being no transport on Christmas Day - pubs may have to pay car hire fees. The café in Christ Church will be doing a 3 course meal in the run up to Christmas for around £30 per head (Booking essential) so to charge an additional £60 plus seems somewhat unreasonable. The past few years, there have only been the 2 of us on Christmas Day, so we lash out and buy a lot of M & S food - ready prepared or with minimal cooking at a cost of between £30 and £40. We host the family Boxing Day onwards (8 - 10 people) spending around £60 on food and drink. Rather spend £100 for food etc over a couple of days rather than £200 for one meal. We are fortunate that we have the finances  to do this as many people are not able to do this. One family member with young children would find it hard to spend even £10 on a Christmas meal. Our kids come armed with plastic boxes to all family meals to take home any leftovers - so we are left with minimal waste- any veg and meat  get made into soup.
    • That would be Dulwich Wood ward wouldn’t it? One of the wards Southwark added Nov ‘23. Maybe the estate against didn’t get the memo. Oh man what a shit show. 
    • If anyone had half an ounce of intelligence they would vote for the Green Party or a real socialist alternative. I have never, and will never back a bunch of ‘champagne socialists’ who have not done a single positive thing for working class people.    Louisa. 
    • That the leaders of our country are wealthy people comes as a shock to you? How ridiculous.  Why shouldn’t they be living in those houses?
