Babysitting in park while you exercise


Recommended Posts

HI All,


I am an artist and theatre maker and, like many the grand part of my work disappeared overnight at the end of March. Part of my work as a theatre practitioner is working with kids and young people. Full disclosure, I have an Enhanced DBS, but am not a certified teacher or assistant.


As social distancing continues but lockdown eases I was wanting to float an idea. I used to look after kids for Mums and Dads who worked out in the park, with a personal trainer, in Australia. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in this idea? At this stage I would be offering to look after children while you exercise independently. I would be available in Dulwich Park, Goose Green or the Rye (or another outdoor space/park nearby). I envisage it as hourly blocks at 10p/h. If you and a friend would like to share the expense I would happily look after 3 kids for the same price.


At this stage it would be informal but if more people are interested I would be happy to explore the idea of looking into pairing up with a personal trainer and/or having structured activities for kids.


If you are interested in having me babysit please get in contact either here or bidvid@gmail.com

Feel free to comment if you might be interested but would prefer a different format.


Cheers

    • He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.
    • I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.
    • I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
    • I went to Brockwell Lido on a hot day last summer to do some lengths. It was busy.  I kept getting other people's hair, which was floating around the pool, tangled in my hands. It was gross. I'm not sure if that was unusual, or if it's always like that on a hot day.
