Mother's Help - 7-11 Dec: Thoughts and applicants!

[klh]

I need someone to help me for a week (7-11 December) with my (then) 8m old baby boy whilst I recover from some surgery. I will be 3 days post op by 7 Dec and will be fully mobile but I am told bending over may be a bit uncomfortable for a few days. I just need someone to hang out with me for the working week to help me with my usual day including getting baby up in the morning and bathed in the evening and light household chores like dishwasher loading/unloading, putting the washing machine on etc. I would expect to be back to my normal self by the end of the week so the work should get easier as the week goes on!

My ideal person would be warm, chatty and friendly and someone who genuinely enjoys looking after and playing with children. I would also really like someone who uses their initiative to think about what would be helpful even if it is just sticking on the kettle and making us both a cup of tea!

Any thoughts on what I should expect to pay someone for this would be appreciated and if you think you would be interested in helping me for this week, please get in touch. We live in Camberwell.

Thanks!
