I would love this job particularly the nights. I am tidy and very organised and bossy. I have extensive experience with children of all ages. I am not sure I would want to share care in the afternoons. My husband suggests that it would only work if I was in charge at all times. Please tell me your highgate address as I only like certain roads....not the tufnell park end. I suggest that in the afternoons you clean while I do the childcare. I would expect my own dressing room as well as a large comfortable bedroom with large ensuite bathroom. I would prefer 3 days on and 4 off per week. I can supply excellent references from my mother in law and my husband's aunt. If you are happy with my terms do let me know when you would like me to start.

What's her number? Grin

Stuffofawesome · 08/10/2014 21:12

So you taking her on?

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 08/10/2014 21:12

Love the references.

SavoyCabbage · 08/10/2014 21:13

She sounds perfect. I want a small uncomfortable bedroom myself but each to their own.

TheReluctantCountess · 08/10/2014 21:14

Snap her up!

TheHouseatWhoCorner · 08/10/2014 21:14

You must get her in for an interview.

Littleturkish · 08/10/2014 21:15

Even allowing for 'lost in translation' elements- that is ridiculous.

Please get her in for an interview. Offer her a PomBear for her trouble.

PedantMarina · 08/10/2014 21:32

Waltermittythesequel · 08/10/2014 21:34

PixieofCatan · 08/10/2014 21:34

Love it!
You clearly have no choice but to give her the job, with six months holiday a year - paid of course.
Naturally, she deserves that you give her your bedroom and offer her cordon bleu for all meals.
In fact, I think you really should employ an assistant for her too....

Surely her referees are keen to get her out of the house half the week? Grin

PacificDogwood · 08/10/2014 21:43

Oh, you must interview her, you must!
And then report back here of course Grin

TheOldestCat · 08/10/2014 21:44

Goodness! She sounds a treat and a half.

wingcommandergallic · 08/10/2014 21:46

That has got to go on Facebook.

Can we help with interview questions?

mipmop · 08/10/2014 21:48

Will you be allowed to communicate with your children on "her" days , or will you be too busy cleaning her wing of your house?

chocolatedrops31 · 08/10/2014 21:48

I think I'll at least telephone interview her just for a laugh (and to see if she's genuine) although we live at the tufnell park end, so I'm not sure if she will talk to me on the phone! GrinGrin
