Looking for lovely nanny from January 19 (mat cover)


Recommended Posts

Our wonderful nanny who has been with us for two years is going on maternity leave and we are looking for a temporary nanny to cover her position from January 2019 looking after our two daughters (aged 4 and nearly 3). It is important to us to have as much continuity of care as possible for our children so we would like to find someone able to commit to the full maternity leave period of up to 12 months with the option to extend if our nanny decides not to return to work.


We would like to find someone who can come to our home in Honor Oak from 7.30am until 7.30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week with flexibility to come earlier in the morning and stay later in the evening on occasion (35+ hour week). Our current nanny also does some additional flexible hours on some Mondays/Fridays/weekends but this is not as important to us as the core hours.


Our eldest is about to start at a local primary school (Dalmain) and our youngest will shortly be attending a local Montessori nursery. During term time, the role will involve pick ups and, on some days, drop offs (though my husband and I try to drop off ourselves as much as we can). When the girls are at school, we would like our nanny to help with preparation of simple, healthy meals for the family as well as doing some light laundry, running errands and keeping the girls? rooms and play area tidy. We have a cleaner two days a week.


The most important thing to us is to find a nanny who is the right fit for our family. Our girls are happy and active, and love the outdoors, music, dancing, art and reading. They get on very well with one another and enjoy playing independently. We are looking for a warm, loving nanny, who will really enjoy spending time with them. We practise gentle, peaceful parenting and it is important to us that our nanny should share a similar approach. We would also like our nanny to be active and fun: activities may include taking our girls to the park, swimming, visiting museums, painting/drawing, music and baking/cooking.


Our nanny must be reliable and honest and come with excellent references and have had (or be willing to have) an enhanced DBS check. It is important that our nanny is a confident driver and we are happy to insure the nanny on our car which is an automatic.


Candidates should have first aid training or be willing to take a course before starting with us. We would also like our nanny to speak English fluently. We do not mind whether or not our nanny is Ofsted registered.


We require our nanny to take holiday when we take our holiday. We have quite generous holiday entitlements so this does mean a significant amount of paid time off for our nanny.


If you are interested, please send an up to date CV and a few words as to why this particular role is appealing to you. Details of salary and benefits will be disclosed to candidates of interest.


Thank you.

    • We don’t even need Victorian values. Many of theses monstrosities are made by Japanese companies but would never be sold in Japan because in Japan the dimensions of cars are strictly regulated due to their narrow street layout. I grew up in terraced streets in the 1970s, playing football and even cricket among the then relatively few parked cars. To walk through ED and see every square inch of every street taken up by a parked car and not a child playing is like a Silent Spring.
    • Word to the wise: please be careful if you’re around Dulwich Village during the school run.  While walking on the pavement down Carlton Avenue this morning c. 8.45am, I was hit from behind by a child riding a bicycle. When I raised this with his father, he (the father) behaved inappropriately. I highlight the following tactics deployed against me, so if you choose to say anything, you may come off better in any exchange than I. The father chose to make it more about how I reacted, rather than what had happened, namely that his son was riding on a pavement, seemingly without supervision, out of his father’s line of sight. The father claimed I was over-reacting, said that his son was 4-years old and didn’t do it deliberately. He didn’t ask me if I was alright. And apologised with a ‘but’: “I’m sorry if he hit your leg, but your reaction is over the top.”  He took no responsibility for his child’s action or his lack of parental supervision. As I walked away, I heard him and two other adults talking and laughing about my reaction – yes, laughing.  I don’t think he or his son learned anything useful from the incident about keeping themselves and others safe, such that it would change their behaviour. I did and share it here as to place, time, nature of incident, minimising tactics etc. as a heads-up to others. I didn’t sustain any injuries or damage to my clothing or property. Others who are older/younger, have mobility issues, walk with buggies, children, pets etc. may fare differently. Forewarned is forearmed, guys.

    • Very good news! The Palmerston flourished under Jamie, so Franklins will be in safe hands, I'm sure
