Single mum with 10 month old in need of a home asap

[Carolina]

Hi,

I'm a 44 year old woman looking for somewhere for me and my 10 month old daughter to live asap. I have just come back from Spain in an emergency situation. I was brought up in East Dulwich and went to Alleyn's many moons ago. I need to live in this area for the short-term at least. I'm lacking in the sort of cash needed for rental in this area and would ideally like some kind of house-sit, low rent, lodger set-up. I'm extremely reliable, trustworthy and 'house-trained'/proud. I could take care of children, animals and a garden if that were a part of the deal...and I can offer a holiday-stay in a 3 bedroom villa about 30 minutes from Granada in Southern Spain, but alas cannot stay there myself at the moment, or make any money out of it. I can explain everything and back up all that I say, and am very much in need of a helping hand right now. Thanks, Carolina

I can't help, but I didn't want to read-and-run. Have you posted in other local forums? I really hope you find what you need. xx

Have PMed this message. Some wonderful responses. Still not found anywhere yet but being offered some great gestures of friendship. THANKS! So grateful...and still open to offers at this time...MUST ADD via Edit. SORRY 'Administrator'. Not intending to 'annoy'. Didn't realise this would bump me up again. Please don't delete. New to this...

Hi, sorry to hear about your situation and sorry I cannot help with a place but I know of some other forums that might be good to post on, too. Not sure I should put the names here but pm me if if it would be helpful to post more widely.

Hi Carolina,

There is a group on facebook called "For sale in East dulwich and Peckham" and a lady has just advertised a room in SE9 (Mottingham). I don't know if it would work for you as you did say rental is not an option and its a bit far out but you've been on my mind all day so thought I'd mention. Will keep my eyes open!
