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

Useful calculators gross v net pay can be found at www.nannytax.co.uk

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

Another April event :) The Style Lab? brought to you by Queen Bee Styling and Lawler Steel, will be taking place on 18th April at 7.30pm, Lawler Steel Hair Salon, 90 Park Hall Road, West Dulwich, SE21 8BW. For more details on what to expect on the night, please take a look at my previous review:- http://dulwichonview.org.uk/2012/10/20/the-style-lab/ This event is usually free but we are suggesting a ?5 entry fee which will go directly to the Help Xavier fund. 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.

Apparently this statistic is purely going off figures supplied by certain insurance companies - so said a PC at coffee morning earlier at the community centre - and he said the local police figures didn't tally at all (tho admitted burglary had been a problem particularly around Barry Rd and Peckham Rye). Also skewed by the fact that ED is pretty nice area compared with some - so residents are far more likely to have household insurance (where it is a condition you have to report burglaries). Stats he read out seemed low but I have no idea what to compare to - he said around 13 for December. Good news is they just caught a serial offender around Barry Rd area, so are hoping that helps!

EDNA is a local nanny agency, with a strong commitment to finding a lovely nanny to care for your child/ren. This agency is run by parents with parents in mind. We know what you want and our experience and knowledge of bringing up children and entrusting children to carers enables us to do our job to a very high standard in which you can place full trust. We pre-interview all nannies, to ensure they are personally CRB checked, have a full first aid certificate and relevant experience and skills, and most of all love their job! This saves you time and eases stress. The majority of agencies charge a percentage of the nanny's salary, which can lead to thousands of pounds and therefore makes it an unaffordable service for some. We are different as we only charge a one off fixed fee. If you would like to find out more about the service we offer and how we can help, please visit our website (detailed below). We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, EDNA [email protected] www.eastdulwichnannyagency.com @ednannyagency
