Babysitter needed in Sydenham 1/2x a week

by Siukei • Lewisham
We’re Ben and Siukei, and we recently welcomed our little baby girl Isla into the world on 25th March. We’re currently looking for a nanny for roughly 4 hours per week on a weekly basis. The days and times are flexible. I am currently on mat leave and looking for extra support to free up a bit of time. I will be due to return to work in February 2025, so would be looking for someone to help look after our little girl till then. Our childcare plans are a little uncertain from that point onwards until we find a spot in a nursery. Initially we’d simply be looking for an extra pair of hands while I’m at home (as we’re exclusively breastfeeding atm). However, later on when she’s a bit older we’d be keen to use that time for a date night every now and then. Do let me know if you’re interested. And if you’d like to chat over phone.

Need a Trustworthy Nanny for 2 Children in London

by Kristen • Southwark
Hi, I am working here as an academic in London for the next three months and I have brought my family along with me--two young girls (5.5 and 2.5) and my partner, an academic as well. Our girls are full of energy and mischief, love to play imaginary games with dragons/monsters/dinosaurs, love music and arts and crafts, and playing outside. Both attend school where we're from (the US), but won't be here; we're flexible in terms of hours and are looking for some help with engaging the kids while my partner and I are working. The preschooler does deal with some sensory challenges and can be quite intense, so experience with special needs would be a plus.
