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


klh

Recommended Posts

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!

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
