We have been in a brilliant nanny share for over 5 years. But 4yo goes to reception in September so both kids will then be at school so no need for full time care any more.

I'm totally stuck as to what to do. Au pair fills me with dread (someone else living in house, multiple transitions of people over the next years etc) but it seems very hard to find anyone to just do pre and/or post school care.


How did you do it? Any lessons learned? Any encouraging words that it will all be ok in the end? Any recommendations of where to look or what to look for?


Yours, in fear

One of my friends teenage daughter (17 years old) who lives in East Dulwich is taking a year off before university. Anyway, she will be looking for work doing after-school childcare from September 2015 as she will be free to pick up children and look after them from 3:30 - 6:30/7pmish. I spoke to her this weekend - and she also could do before school care and then dropping off at school She has babysat for my son for several years and she also babysits for several families in the area. She is very reliable and also good with kids - a fun older sister figure! If you PM me, I can give you her contact details.

We use a childminder. She is amazing and we it all works really well.


We pay her a monthly salary and she does the holiday care too.


She is a qualified nanny who changed over go childminder when she had her her son ( years ago no, he is @

20).

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
