Mother's help/part-time nanny wanted


sfm

Recommended Posts

We're a friendly family looking for a mother's help or flexible nanny to help look after our fun and good natured 3 year old and 4 month old boys, starting in August. We live in a nice house with garden near Lordship Lane/Dulwich Village within easy reach of any of the East Dulwich bus routes or North Dulwich station.


The hours we're looking for are roughly 7.30am - 9am and 3pm - 7pm Monday to Thursday (we're looking for 4 days but we could be flexible on the days of the week). It would involve dropping off and picking up our 3 year old from nursery and help with both boys/around the house from nursery pick-up time until Dad gets home from work (7pm).


Mum is on maternity leave, so will be around and looking after the children with you, at least for the first 9 months. We would like you to be able to be in sole charge of the 3 year old for short periods.


It would be a bonus if you can speak German but not essential! (We are English but are trying to bring up the children bilingually.)


Please PM me if you're interested.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
