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 [email protected]

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


Cheers

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
