Hi, I'm looking for a keyboard or digital piano, in good condition, ideally with weighted keys for my children, aged 5 and almost 4. They've just started to take music classes and we'd like to practise at home. I can come to collect and will pay a reasonable sum depending on condition and second hand value. Please let me know if you have one that needs a new home! M

Still looking!

I'll email privately!

Hello! I'm looking for a nanny to help with after school care, evenings and occasional babysitting for my children Rory, 3 and Lucy, 5. We're based in SE15 and the children attend pre-school nursery and year 1 at Edmund Waller. The children are into crafts, sports, imaginative play, and would really benefit from an enthusiastic and creative nanny to help them make the most of the hours between school pickup and us being able to finish or get home from work. My partner and I work either from home or from locations near London Bridge and for the most part we just need a bit of help to get us to the end of the working day. We're looking for someone who can take the children to the park or to playdates when needed, and also help us out with school holidays and inset days, as well as babysitting a couple of times a month. The ideal person will be happy to collect and entertain the kids, plus prepare simple meals and sometimes also do bed and bath time for them, as I will be travelling for work occasionally. We hope the nanny can start as soon as possible for some settling in days before being fully up and running from October, with days and times being flexible but largely Monday - Thursday and the occasional Friday. We will pay tax, NI, pension etc and do things properly, and hope to find someone who can settle into our family indefinitely to ensure continuity for the children. We want the emphasis for them to be on fun, and are looking for a loving and kind, energetic and creative person to take care of them when jobs mean we can't. Please DM me if interested. Melanie

I'd also like to recommend Aston. I live in Nunhead and he came over at short notice this last week to hang pictures and mirrors, remove our garden gate and fit a few other smaller items. I found Aston via recommendations in this forum and was not disappointed! He was quick and efficient, he cleaned up any mess and was really keen to ensure his work was in line with my expectations. I'd definitely use him again.
