Au Pair wanted from May 2016 in SE22


Recommended Posts

We are an easy going English/Australian family living in East Dulwich who will need an au pair to look after our 4 year old girl and 2.5 year old boy.


Our daughter attends the local primary school, and our son is in nursery three days a week, both are within walking distance. We both work, one of us in the city the other studying midwifery full-time. We're looking for someone to become part of the family, to help muck in when needed, be responsible but also have freedom and time to do their own stuff. What would that look like? We're open to negotiating terms to make sure it's a comfortable and fair arrangement for all.


Weekday duties include:

Mornings - breakfast with the kids and get them to school/nursery, then the rest of the day is yours 3 days a week until 3.20pm when our daughter finishes school.

Afternoons - school pickups, reading, homework, prepare evening meal (some nights). Take children to local parks, playgrounds, playdates

Light housework - children's laundry, bedroom tidying, keeping shared areas tidy (we have a cleaner for main housework).

Some requirement for babysitting, there is the potential for weekend days as required, due to our work/work travel commitments. Any extra hours will all be arranged with plenty of notice.


What we offer you is: full board with meals, own room with cable tv. Mobile phone with data plan. Contribution to Oyster travel card. We are less than 5 min walk to bus stop, around 45 mins to central London).


Interested candidates will be comfortable with active toddlers and driving in a busy city. You'll also be flexible and fair around scheduling, and reliable. Minimum 1 year commitment.


We will pay you ?100 a week.


Please send your CV and a brief intro to [email protected]


Many thanks

    • I’ve sent you a private message about a sofa for sale : ) 
    • Seems to be a lot of victim blaming going on here. Clearly a four year old child should not be riding a bike on a pavement out of sight of the adult who is supposed to be caring for him. Also clearly if the child ran into somebody from behind, he is not ready to be riding a bike in a place where people may be walking. Quite apart from the adult who in this case could have been badly hurt, so could the child. I wonder how those people on here asking how it was handled would have reacted if it had been them? All sweetness and light and apologies for having had the temerity to get in the way of the child? I'm pretty sure I would have been extremely shocked and annoyed.
    • Yes, do report it even if you cannot get info about the owner.  It’s likely that the dog has bitten other people (and dogs) already or will go on to do it again. I’ve been bitten by dogs in the past, owned by people I knew and they had bitten previously. One bit my face when I was putting her lead on. She had recently - about a week before - bitten the hand of a vicar who had been to discuss the wedding of the owners’ son.  The son was a doctor and he advised me to go to the hospital to start a new series of tetanus jabs.  I took his advice.  Unusual behaviour by a dog can also indicate health problems.
