I'd really welcome any recommendations / experiences with finding mothers help support for a new (2nd) baby.

I have a 3 year old and will have our 2nd baby in March and am just thinking ahead to getting a bit of help.

Ideally I'd like to find someone to introduce into our family in Jan, so there is time for my 3 year old to get used to them before the baby comes.

How have people gone about advertising - on here / gumtree / elsewhere / word of mouth?

What's the going rate (i.e. for an extra pair of hands alongside me, rather than sole charge; mixture of childcare & household help)?

Any tips in terms of selecting i.e. interviews, references, trial period, contract etc?

Do I need to worry about anything like NI, tax etc (like with nannies) or is it cash in hand like babysitting?


Thanks in advance for any insights!

      Well if it is, I bit. But the point remains the same.

      Surely this post is satire or ragebait?

      What an extraordinarily selfish post. Even in "the middle of London", believe it or not, there are people with buggies, in wheelchairs, with mobility aids, with visual disabilities, with shopping trolleys, with young children holding their hands,  or who otherwise find it hard to negotiate blocked pavements. "Young people" (I'm sure this isn't just young people) can "enjoy the local amenities" within the boundaries of the "amenities", and without making life difficult for others. Many of those others have probably lived around here long before these "young people" moved in. This is a residential area with shops. It isn't a pedestrianised area in the West End.

      Local COVID jabs

      By Sue · Posted

      Posting this here rather than starting another COVID  thread, as there are already two, but admin please move if it's inappropriate. I've never had a bad reaction previously except a sore arm, but I've woken up feeling headachy and achy  and quite unwell. I've had to cancel two appointments,  and my dentist receptionist said this reaction can happen even if you have been ok before, and it  can take three days to go away. Wondering what other people's experiences have been. Obviously it's possible I've got something unrelated to the jab, but it seems a strange coincidence if so.
