Summer 2020 Nanny required for cricket matches (Weekends only)


9 weekends from Saturday 20th June until Sunday 16 August 2020


Can start earlier on 6th June if available.


Need a full driving licence and own car.


Help taking either of our two sons to Surrey County or London Schools cricket matches during the summer holidays and collection from Saturday school match in June if you are available from then.


The general requirement is every Saturday and Sunday from 20th June until 16th August.

Collection time will vary on a Sunday morning depending on cricket match location but will need to be available from 9am. Generally collection from Dulwich will be anytime between 9am and 12pm. We will know the weekend plans one or two weeks in advance once player selections are made.


On Sundays - Collect the boy (one of our sons) from Dulwich, drive them to the cricket game (these can be all over London North or South - petrol money will be given), stay at the game with the boy (very little interaction needed - maybe making sure they eat and drink during the day, suncream), take a good book or watch the game and we will provide a comfy camping chair, drive them home after the game. Most games finish about 6pm and home between 7pm and 8pm depending on location. It?s a long day but a nice relaxing one in good weather. You will need a book, packed lunch for yourself and a flask of tea!


The boys are aged 12 and 15 so very independent. It?s just a requirement that a parent or carer attends the games. Whilst the nanny does one son, we (mum/dad) will do the other son and one at home with daughter. There might be some waiting at home Sunday evening to make sure we all back together.


Saturdays will vary and less hours. Would most probably be a more local drop-off and collection of the 15 year old in South London - often no need to stay for the game - drop off and collect later.


Salary is negotiable - we would pay ?75 for Saturday and ?75 for Sunday every week plus ?20 petrol money. But often there might be less work on Saturday and a couple more hours on a Sunday. Sunday is the big long day and we need you to keep it free every Sunday. We need a full commitment for every Sunday in the summer holidays until 16th August.


We live in Dulwich Village - please contact me if interested.

I think you are right. It?s not for me to set the salary level but definitely the right person who is interested.


I was trying to do a guaranteed weekly amount on both days even though there might not be much on a Saturday or rain cancels play etc.


I will adjust the post and re-send.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
