My daughter is 14 months old - Since an early age I have been looking for a family to share a nanny. One month a found a great family -the next month found a fab nanny. It has never really come together. I have just found this website -can't believe it after all this time. I have also subscribed to share nanny.co.uk. I do work five days a week so I supposed I am forgiven for being not with it. The other option was to find a child minder - Though finding a good, warm, active child minder with a clean home seems quite impossible - so my daughter has been attending nursery. I am now finding this is not the right solution. If anyone knows of anything or anyone, I would so grateful if you got in touch. Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Hi McKay. I live in Sunbury and have a full time live-in nanny. But, I dare say her hands are full with my 5 month and 2 1/2 year old. You could try looking on nannyjob.co.uk or gumtree.com. Regarding your comment on childminders where have youlooked for them? Ofsted has a great serch facility.

If your set on wanting a nanny, you should have a look at nannytax.co.uk, as they offer a lot of information regarding employer rights and responsibilities.

Also, this chat board is a great source of real experience. Keep posting here and you will find a wealth of knowledge from lots of people who have been where you are now.

I moved from a childminder to a nanny when my elder child was 14 months so I have been exactly where you are now. Good luck!!

Oh Mckay. I could really have done with you last year. I live in Kingston normally and need a p/t nanny. I'm in Sydney on a 7 month contract at the moment but back in February.

Good luck with your search. If you're still looking in Feb then maybe we can help each other.

Which nursery does your DD go to by the way?
