Wanted: Nanny for 2 days a week in Herne Hill


Recommended Posts

We are looking for a nanny 2 days a week to care for our two year old boy-girl twins.


Days would be 2 days over Mon, Tues or Weds, and can determine this with the right person. Hours would be 8am-6pm. The role would ideally be starting the week of 18 June or at the latest beginning of July.


Some ad hoc additional days may be a possibility during particularly busy work periods for us.


We are looking for someone reliable, warm and with previous nanny experience with similar aged children. The twins are entering a really fun stage where they are communicating more and more and really exploring the world, so lots of ideas and energy for activities, crafts, adventures would be great. Responsibilities would include sole care of the children, taking them to & organising activities, preparing healthy meals, and organisation/tidying/light cleaning of play areas and children's room. OFSTED registration, DBS checked and first aid all desirable.


Huge bonus if you are a native Spanish and French speaker and would use the language somewhat in your work.


We've worked with a lovely nanny to date, but changes in our childcare needs and in both in our and her circumstances mean we are looking for someone new. Ideally we could find someone who would want to work with us over at least the next year and possibly longer.


If interested, drop me a direct message with a bit about your experience, day(s)s available/preferred, as well as your current rates. Thanks!

Please note that we know of another family, based in East Dulwich, who is looking for a Spanish speaking nanny for Thurs-Fri. This could be a nice combination for someone looking for four days work. They are also advertising here on EDF or we'd be happy to put you in touch.

    • I was surprised to learn that East Dulwich Picturehouse now only screens PG-rated films for their baby-friendly showings, unlike other Picturehouse branches. Apparently, this change happened after a complaint to the council about showing films above a PG rating to infants. Afaik, this policy only applies to themed branch. As a local parent, I find this frustrating. It limits our options, especially when many of us would love the chance to watch a wider range of films while caring for our little ones. For example, during Oscar Week, only one vintage film is being shown. Are we really expected to only consume toddler-focused content, like Cocomelon? I also worry about the precedent this sets. If other institutions, like the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery, applied similar restrictions, parents could be left with only child-oriented content. Babies under one don’t fully comprehend adult themes, so shouldn’t there be more flexibility? I’d love to hear what others think—should this policy be reconsidered?
    • I am a secondary teacher in the local area and totally agree that it’s so important for teenagers to be given a space to connect and learn skills. I think it’s lovely that they’ve been able to do this organically due to the carpark being derelict but it defeats the very concept of dynamic urban living to use this as a reason to block the development of the space into something that could benefit the whole community. I would really welcome an entrepreneur bringing a proposal forward that thinks about how we could best make the space work for everyone. I’d also love to see the council engage with the kids themselves on how and where to make the skate park permanent, perhaps in Dulwich Park itself. Give them some funding to make it nicer than a space by such a busy traffic route. I also agree we shouldn’t romanticise the skate park - they’re not principals in the Royal Ballet Company. I don’t think it’s hugely affecting the community, but let’s not pretend there isn’t some underage drinking and drug use going on there. But mainly the building itself is a waste of space and it’s often depressing to see the private security company vans parked out there late at night. Let’s use it as an opportunity to engage in conversations about what this part of Lordship Lane really needs.
