Nanny ‘share’ available – either split or shared time across Mon-Fri possible

 

We have an experienced (>20yrs, nursery-nurse/childcare qualifications, middle sibling of five, raised her nephews), unflappable, fun, and hugely reliable (43-year-old) nanny who we love and have worked with for eight years. References from us and previous employers available.

 

Latterly we have been her sole employer but previously we have had various successful nanny-share arrangements with other families. Advantages of nanny-sharing include: shared cost, sociability & vertical learning for children involved, more fun / challenge / interest for nanny.

 

She is British, grew up in South London, and is Streatham-based herself. English her first language. She knows the Herne Hill, Dulwich Village, West Dulwich areas very well from child-activities point-of-view, plus wider areas including East Dulwich and Streatham a bit. She is familiar with many baby/toddler/children groups and venues. She would be quick to find the same in adjacent, currently-less-super-familiar-to-her areas.

 

She is expert in ages/stages for child development and building littles ones up. She is proactive at getting them out-and-about and being active / doing things. Easy emphasis of outside time, arts and crafts, baking. Us and previous employers note her strength in caring for pre-schoolers to early-years school-age children.

 

She is a safe and reliable pair of hands. She is organised, tidy and efficient. Children love her. She has on-going relationship with children -now teenagers- she has cared for in the past. She has had one day of sick leave in over eight years. She is very flexible on leave arrangements only rarely asking for particular dates herself.

 

She does not drive – she walks everywhere or takes the bus or train (with children, no problem).

 

We no longer need to employ her full-time, but we would like to retain her for some days of the week (at least to include Mon & Fri for us). We are looking for another family to take some of her time. This could be on a split days-of-the-week basis or shared time across a week. Four or possibly five children the max if the latter (and we’ve done this before: is entirely possible subject to discussion/agreement of families re logistics/needs). Very happy to talk to people who might want some time now and more in future, also those who might only want a day, or two – and everything in between. We do not want a second family who only want all 3.30-6pm Mon-Fri +- school holidays – we know this will not work. 

 

We’re experience at nanny-sharing arrangements and can help newbies navigate how to set-up and manage.

 

We are Herne Hill-based but willing to chat to those further off about possible ‘share arrangements.

 

Please get in touch here first if you think your needs might align with ours. Many thanks.
