Babysitter required for 4-year-old - Sunday evenings

admin — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 11:50:59 +0000

Experienced babysitter required to care for a four-year-old boy every Sunday from 7pm-10pm.

This is the child’s first babysitting experience, and would require someone with experience to ease him in.

He has a good routine and sleeps around 7pm. He goes to preschool so is used to having childcare.

This would suit someone who has good babysitting experience, and may be studying, working part-time anyway andjust needs some extra hours.

This is a long-term appointment, so please only apply if you can commit to this position.

The family lives in Erith, Kent, and would like to have a sitter in place by 14th January 2008.

Please send your CV to info@childcareangels.co.uk.

Thanks

How did our children become those ‘things’ that other people look after?

This summer I’ve been in that black hole that every working mother falls into at some point: when the childcare fails. The person who was looking after my children decided to leave, and I have been struggling to find a replacement. Some women cope by calling in sick; others hunch over the mobile between meetings, organising extended “playdates” with sympathetic friends and explaining to ageing relatives that Teddy must go in the cold wash, however gooey he is. When you’re in the black hole, the gravitational pull of home can become overwhelming.

I’m lucky. So far I have been able to afford to pay for someone to come to my home to care for my boys, and every childminder I’ve employed has been great. But it’s getting harder. The credit crunch is spooking many professional mothers back to work. I have spoken to two nanny agencies whose books are suddenly full of mothers who had not expected to return so fast, but fear the mounting bills. They would have to make good money though to have much left over from what the agencies say is the going rate for a London nanny: £20,000 to £30,000 a year.
