No. hrs/week: 20 hrs

Driving license required


We are looking for a warm, reliable, energetic and experienced childcarer to help look after our happy and active children (aged 2.5 and 3 months) during the times below from the beginning of November. We live on Brixton Hill on the 133/333/159/59/45/118 bus routes and near Brixton tube.


We are looking for someone who is flexible to work later hours if required, but the core hours will be:


Monday: 5pm-8pm

Tuesday: 9am-8pm

Wednesday: 5pm-8pm

Thursday: 5pm-8pm


The work will involve using our car to collect our 2.5 year old from nursery on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, driving her home, preparing dinner and doing the bath/bedtime routine with her on the cited days as well as Tuesday where I will be home with both children. During this day, the work would involve playing, engaging my 2.5 yr old in stimulating activities at home, taking her to the park and looking after our 3-month old son as and when required.


We are looking for someone who is great with young children and is able to provide them with a safe, fun and stimulating environment. We would also like help with light housework and light healthy cooking. Kika is bilingual and we would prefer someone with Spanish as their first or second language although this is not a must.


In addition to the 20 hrs/week, we can also offer additional babysitting work on a regular basis; and there might be extra hours offered to look after our son in a few months time, when I return to work. We would like to establish a long term relationship with someone who fits into our household and grows with our family.


Please note that CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE AND EXCELLENT REFERENCES ARE ESSENTIAL (they will all be followed up). Good English speakers, driving license holders and non-smokers only please; and a CRB check or willingness to have one done are essential. A willingness to commit for at least 12 months would be helpful. Pay would be around ?8-?10 an hour depending on levels of experience.


We would love to hear from you if you are interested. Please get in touch with your CV and covering email telling us why you are right for the job. We are open to people of all ages. We are a very friendly family with 2 rather active cats. Applications required by no later than Friday 21st October; we will be holding interviews in the last week of October and are aiming for an early November start (2nd / 3rd November).

    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.  
    • I do know the care home julia tant was moved to
    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
