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).

    • Thanks for offering. Just this morning I took some pounds to Albrighton then got back to find more on the ground so have gathered those too. Let me get back to you privately about possibly coming here in the next few days? Thanks. 
    • TBF, the council has tackled graffiti on Walworth, Old and New Kent Roads - you can see that many businesses there have been cleaned up en masse - but Rye Lane hasn’t. 
    • Hi, I am from the Southwark Day Centre and could collect some apples if I am. It too late... Bettina 
    • Labour's latest Rye Lane Ward newsletter is now saying that demolition in the square will start this summer and that the wider station upgrade is expected to be signed off this year - as explained above, sadly wrong on both counts. It describes the renovation of adjacent buildings on Blenheim Grove as "successful", despite having lain empty for a couple of years, longer than the actual renovation works, before saying "the Council is hopeful [it] will see its first new occupants move in to this year". Cue desperate attempt to get at least one in before end of financial year? As for the other topic, in "November 2023, faced with a huge increase in graffiti across the borough, Labour-run Southwark council took action". Nice turn of phrase eh? Rather, after community pressure regarding years of inaction by said Labour-run council, it's finally started to do a little bit, a little late. Surely there would be more chance of resolving issues if our council could for once be part of an honest, informed discussion?
