Offering to share our fantastic nanny in HH / DH and beyond

[duettchen]

We are looking to share our fantastic nanny, while she is continuing to provide after school care for our two daughters.

- some point after July

- highly experienced

- we live in DH/HH area and would be happy to consider any share within a reasonable reach (currently with Crystal Palace)

ABOUT HER

She has over 20 years experience (last 4 years with us) working as a nanny covering newborns up til teenage hood. The relationships she has with children are fantastic, she is very natural and truly enjoys spending time with them.

Her easy and playful approach ensures that she is loved but respected by children, while she is keen to ensure routines are put in place to form stability and predictability.

She combines her emotional maturity with a deep understanding and reflected respect of the special position she fills within any family. This ensures she handles any situation with practical consideration and thoughtfulness and with great mutual respect.

SET UP

Until now she has been looking after twins who are now 2.5 years old during the day and then picks up our daughters from school to look after them until we return home.

The twins are due to start nursery, so she will be looking to fill these additional hours.

We are fairly flexible as our daughters(7 and 11) are now more independent. Until now she has taken them to school and picked them up thereafter. During school holidays we found that between family holidays and grandparents etc we only required her to have them for 2-4 weeks for a full day, during which they would always beg to go and see 'the twins' to help and look after them.

We are happy to host the share fully, but understand that you may also want her to spend time in your house. It would be important to us that she would be able to be in our home for our eldest to return home from school to.

PRACTICALITIES

She is Ofsted registered, drives her own car and is fully insured. We are currently acting as her employer (handling tax, pension etc.) so you would not need to worry about this aspect of it though I would be obviously happy to share our accumulated knowledge of it all if you prefer. She prepares meals, loves taking them to the park and generally being creative with them.

You would need to negotiate the financial side with her, but it would be a generally accepted nannyshare rate.

If you are interested to learn more and discuss further details please let me know and I look forward to speak to you and introduce you.
