British CRB-checked babysitter available evenings and weekend


Recommended Posts

Do you need someone to mind the kids so you can have the occasional "date night", run errands or simply be free for a few hours?


I'm a CRB-checked British girl in my late twenties, experienced with children of all ages after having au-paired for two seperate families and taught in a schools overseas for a number of years.


I'm relatively new to East Dulwich and it would be great to meet some friendly families looking for help.


Please PM me for my contact details and more information.


Thanks, Lou

Hi all,


I've received some enquiries asking if I'm available for part-time work and so I just wanted to re-iterate that I'm available for ad-hoc evening and weekend babysitting.


Please PM me if you're interested and we can chat.

Thanks,

Louise

I just wanted to recommend Louise as a babysitter. She is great with kids - our clingy three year old didn't even look up as we left after being won over by her before we went out. She is friendly and capable, and we had total confidence in her.

Another recommendation for Louise - she babysat for our two after I saw her advert on here - she built up a great rapport quickly and our 4 year old didnt blink as we left - she gave total confidence leaving us to have a great night out!

Thank you Aimee - your son was great fun to spend some time with!


The Psychologist - Thank you for your interest. I've sent you a PM.


To all other East Dulwich families looking for extra help, I'm booked for this Saturday but still have availability on Friday 15th August and weekday evenings.


Thanks,

Louise

Another recommendation for Louise who babysat for our two girls last night (2.5y and 10m). She was great - really warm, kind, calm and helpful. Both children took to her immediately, despite the youngest being grouchy with teething. I was quite nervous trying a new babysitter, but I'm so glad I did! Thank you!

Thank you Sue - that's very kind of you to say. I look forward to seeing your smart little girls again!


Gill - I've PM'ed you.


My next weekend availability is for Friday 29th August and then the weekend of 6/7th September. Most week nights are also available.


Thanks, Louise

Another recommendation for Louise. She watched my baby daughter while I went to see Kate Bush in concert (just had to mention that). She made the effort to arrive early and be with my daughter before bath and bed time and did an excellent job watching her. She's calm, experienced and extremely friendly. Would recommend without hesitation.

Hi all,


Currently have good availability to babysit weeknight evenings through September and the following weekend evenings:


5th September

12th September

26th September - no longer available

3rd October

4th October - no longer available


Thanks,

Louise

I can heartily recommend Louise for older children too. Ours are 15, 10 and 8 and she struck exactly the right balance of care and engagement with smaller two and independence for oldest.


Our arrangements were particularly complex on the day that Louise babysat for us but she took everything in her stride and arrived early to take over from the childcare 'day shift'.


All of ours really enjoyed having her around and we will definitely use her again.

Hallo Louise/Loulou


I wondered what your regular commitments were or whether you would be interested in either or both of the following :

We need a nice reliable, safe crb checked driver to take our 16 year old daughter to school on Kingston Hill everyday, and also to fetch her at 3.35pm.

She is a wheelchair user but can transfer herself into a normal car.

The wheelchair folds a bit and usually fits in most boots.

Our daughter is lively and talkative and would benefit from nice conversation on the way.

We live in Camberwell and its a fairly early start leaving our house at 7.10am. You could use your car or ours. You could do one way or the other or both .

Its a long shot but it is regular income and might just suit.

Please let me know either way.

Many Thanks

Hi Teaspoon,


I travel regularly overseas with my main job so I don't think it would be fair on a family if I agree to take on a permanent commitment. Thank you for your interest and good luck in finding child care,

Louise

Hello, I'm very happy to recommend Louise to any parents looking for a babysitter. She looked after our 3.5 year old while we hosted our leaving party last weekend. We arranged to meet beforehand so she could meet our daughter. She came across as professional, confident and relaxed with a natural ability with children. Our little one played happily with her while we were in the home and barely noticed us leaving. If we were not moving to Australia we would definitely be using her again.

To all the ED mums and dads out there,


Christmas is fast approaching ... maybe you have your work Xmas do, or want to hit the shops without the pushchair.

My pre-Xmas weekend availability is starting to get booked up and the remaining weekend dates are as follows.


Saturday 29th November

Saturday 20th December


Weekday nights and Sundays are generally fine for bookings closer to the date.


In addition over the holidays, I can do daytime shifts (min. 3 hrs) from 15th Dec - 23rd Dec.


Please get in touch if you require cover and I'l do my best to ensure we can meet over a quick cuppa so that we can all introduce ourselves prior to your date.


All the best,

Louise

Hi Mums and Dads of East Dulwich,


It's been some time since I have posted on here and I'd like to confirm that I am still available for babysitting in the area on weekends and weeknights after 6:30.


For a variety of reasons (moving house, another baby due, etc) some of my regular families have cut back on babysitting so I'm interested in meeting new families looking for ad-hoc cover.


Please send me a PM if you're interested and we can have a chat.


All the best,

Louise

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
