Students/ trainee nannies.

[kentDee]

Hi
I am looking for trainee nannies or nursery nurses who are interested in working with multiples as part of their studies? I have triplets and I'm not having much luck from local colleges etc.
Get in contact if you are interested.
Many thanks.

Where are you located (I assume Kent from your NN but Kent is huge )

We are in Bromley Kent.

Thats a shame with regards to local college maybe wrong time of year as its summer hols.

Have you contacted home start as they will offer you support - its not income based and is for any parent needing support and I know other multiple parents I have worked with have used them.

Also contact local sure starts as they may be able to offer some support to you.

Have you thought about hiring an au pair?

Yes you aren't supposed to leave them all day alone under 2 years, but they could be an extra pair of hands or can watch/ occupy/ feed one/ two whilst you do the other

If you look on aupair world you can read profiles and pick only older candidates with some experience. Many are nurses etc in home country but not in uk and want to spen 6 months/ 1 year here to improve their English as this is important in many hospitals in big cities abroad.

Would this work? Simply another set of hands and eyes to help you for a little while. They generally do 25 hr a week so you could pick busiest time ( maybe 3 mornings 8-2pm, and 2 afternoon/ Eve's to help with baths/ bed etc on those days say 3-8 pm) you would get many applicants I'm sure for the experience with babies and the times working would allow them to study in free time/ English class
