I'd like to get involved, will PM :)

Have you tried Dulwich Childcare? Their babysitting services are very highly rated elsewhere on the forum.

I'd agree with the above post - around November should be sufficient time to find a nanny. If you are thinking about a nannyshare then probably good to try and find another family slightly earlier than Nov, so fully prepared. Best of luck! East Dulwich Nanny Agency www.eastdulwichnannyagency.com

Another recommendation for Treehouse Work & Play in Brixton - hope you get a break soon :)

East Dulwich Nanny Agency and Captured on the Rye will have a joint stall, so come along and say hello :) Should be a great event, lots of fun things for kids to do and of course the playground just nearby to run off some energy after the inevitable sweet treats!

Great tip, I am now signed up too x

There are a limited number of spaces, to book yours please call Sally on 07956 293845 or email [email protected]

Wow he has ?33k out of ?70k - not bad going!! Let's keep fundraising - lots of events planned, esp like the sound of SamSam the Bubble man at Alleyn's in May :)

We would be happy to help and we have a half price offer at present - plus we only charge a fixed fee as opposed to a percentage of the nanny's salary, which makes it an affordable service for families :) East Dulwich Nanny Agency (EDNA) www.eastdulwichnannyagency.com Tel. 07453 890 109 [email protected]

Once you have another family feel free to contact us as we charge one single fee for nannyshares. You would only pay 50% each (i.e. per family) rather than two fees as some agencies charge! You will also find that our rates are far more reasonable than most, we charge a fixed fee as opposed to a percentage of the nanny's salary.
