Few Hours Child Care Needed - Possibly Share?

[foggynervosa]

Hi all,

We need child care for that final hour between Nursery closing at 6.30 and us getting home at 7-7.30 twice a week. (Tuesdays and Thursdays with 'possible' ad hoc Fridays here and there)

We understand that this is probably too few hours to be worthwhile for one carer to commit to, so wondered about the possibility of sharing a carer? Maybe your child goes to the same nursery, (Little Jungle, Amott Road) and live nearby?

Failing that, any childminders who could fit us in please get in touch.. or if anyone has any recommendations, that would be really helpful.

Thanks all - and Happy New Year too!

I've had a similar problem except we needed someone from 445pm or 545pm 3 days a week and I don't get back until 730pm. So 2 of those days my baby (7 momths) will be in nursery - and my daughter is in reception. We have had to go for babysitters for now. am looking at maybe using a nanny instead. I haven't even thought about the school holidays yet!!

Have heard others suggesting that staff from the nursery may be able to do this (if the nursery allows) - advantage that they are already known to the child. Worth asking?

Hi Stands..

We're still looking.. thankfully our current childminder gave us a month's notice so we've got until the end of January to sort it out..

How far away are you?!
