Our Wonderful Nanny available 2 days a week


Recommended Posts

She has now taken something so is no longer available, sorry!.....



Our wonderful nanny is looking for some extra days as the family we share her with no longer need their hours. At present we employ her for 2.5 days a week - on a Tuesday and Friday all day and Wednesday morning and so we are hoping to help her find another family who can commit to something in the region of 15 - 20 hours a week (ideally split over 2 longer days). However we could also consider someone just looking for 2 half days or 1 full day as we have someone else interested in some of the hours. Our days can also possibly be flexible if necessary.


We really don't want to loose her as she is fantastic and has developed a great bond with our son (3.5) and daughter (21 months) whom she has looked after for the best part of the last 2 years since our daughter was born. She lives locally in East Dulwich so knows the area well and has experience with a range of age groups both in the nursery setting in her previous jobs and as a sole charge nanny. She is very organised and takes it upon herself to plan activities for the day, both at home and out and about. She regularly drives our children to various activities. She is also very keen to assist with child related household tasks as well as basic meal prep for the children. She is up to date with her first aid training and is CRB checked, with excellent references available from previous employers. This is someone who really enjoys and takes pride in her role and is enthusiastic about childcare and development. She is respectful of our beliefs, approach to childcare, and how we run our household. She is both quietly confident and creative when dealing with our children, making even the most dull task into a game. She calmly handles toddler tantrums and never looses her cool. My friends who have regularly observed her out and about have always reported back very positively. We are desperate not to loose her as it was so hard to find a good fit, but starting in September she needs more hours than we can give her. Please message (or text 07794954277) me if you'd like more information. I could not recommend her too highly.

    • Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!
    • These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January. 
    • Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
