I'd really welcome any recommendations / experiences with finding mothers help support for a new (2nd) baby.

I have a 3 year old and will have our 2nd baby in March and am just thinking ahead to getting a bit of help.

Ideally I'd like to find someone to introduce into our family in Jan, so there is time for my 3 year old to get used to them before the baby comes.

How have people gone about advertising - on here / gumtree / elsewhere / word of mouth?

What's the going rate (i.e. for an extra pair of hands alongside me, rather than sole charge; mixture of childcare & household help)?

Any tips in terms of selecting i.e. interviews, references, trial period, contract etc?

Do I need to worry about anything like NI, tax etc (like with nannies) or is it cash in hand like babysitting?


Thanks in advance for any insights!

      I find it goes on in all council leisure centres that people book places the moment they become available on the app then cancel in the 3 or 4 hours before the reserved slot so as not to incur a pentalty fine.. Its annoying but thats what happens... I just keep checking my emails and the app and sure enough a places often open up the night or a few hours before.

      Thanks for the reminder! And if people have time, please pass on any sightings to our Wildlife Group as they compare the local numbers with the national count. Email [email protected]. thank you!

      Dulwich Leisure Centre, seriously - how do you book a swim?!

      I am not trying to "emotionally blackmail" anybody. What a very strange thing to say.

      For anyone interested in the conservation of birds, here's a reminder that It's the RSPB  bird survey this weekend. Anyone can take part and it's completely free. Just register on the RSPB website and download your bird identifier. It takes just one hour of your time to count the number and type of bird you see in your garden or local park. The more people taking part, the better we can track how well our birds are doing. It's a great activity to do with the kids and grandkids.
