hi all living in SW London
we are looking to move to South West London to have good access to Putney and Richmond Park and Surrey areas but are agonizing about the flight noise, which we cannot bear and never will get used to.

So I would be so grateful for anyone who could tell us those areas around Richmond and Wimbledon, who are directly under the flight-paths and those not. Thank you.

Hi,

I am looking for a full-time, live-in nanny to start in February 2012, to help with 3 children, one of whom will be newborn.

The position will mostly be based in Northumberland. The nanny will be provided with her own en-suite room in the family wing of the castle, her own Range Rover which she can have for personal use if she goes away, and all food.

For approx one week every month, the nanny would be expected to join the family in London.

Overseas travel will also be included.

It will not be a solitary job, as a housekeeper and other very friendly and welcoming staff are already employed.

Please email [email protected] if interested.

LIVE IN NANNY LOOKING FOR A GREAT FAMILY TO HELP :)

Very flexible on location - (Will consider any town/city/country - just not a countryside/village location)

I'm a 24 year old British childcare worker ideally looking for a long - term, full time, live in nanny position

  • ideally caring for children aged between around 20 months through to 7 years

(Although I have experience with children aged from 5 months to teenagers in various settings/roles)

Non - Smoker,

Happy to work weekends,

Happy to travel etc - very flexible for the 'right' role / family.

I am very enthusiastic (one previous employer said she had never seen anyone so enthusiastic at 7am - but I really do LOVE children) , hard working and give 100% - providing childcare is more a passion rather than a 'job' - it is too much fun to be a 'job' as such.

I started my childcare career working / studying / volunteering in various childcare settings - multiple nurseries, an after school club, holiday play scheme, summer camp, volunteered for a well known children's charity etc.

I gained a wide range of experience and moved on to providing childcare within the home - nannying, hosting children's parties, teaching them in the home, proxy parenting.

I am City and Guilds Early Years Care and Education certified.

TEFL certified with exp in TEFL.

I have overseas experience.

I have helped a couple of 'large families' with multiple young children ( four aged 6 and under, four aged 5 and under),

I have cared for twins, triplets, travelled with children, been responsible for groups of children (some of whom did not speak English), helped in schools.

I have proxy parented in two previous roles, one of which included 10 days of 24 hour care.

I believe children thrive on consistent, clear boundaries and have a 'fun but firm and fair approach' - which I find works very well - just last week I received a letter from a child I cared for 3 years ago - saying she missed me 'very, very much' and asking when I was visiting again.

I get very attached to my charges and therefore would ideally like a long term position although as I am really keen to find work, I am willing to take on temp work but would hope you would want to keep in touch.

An 'outdoorsy' nanny come rain or shine... (or snow!)

Childcare is a very rewarding career and I thoroughly love seeing the world through the child's/children's eyes, going on exciting adventures - whilst educating them in a fun yet age appropriate and educational way.

Previous employers state that I am -
'Dedicated to everything that she does, reliable, responsible, 100% trustworthy' ,
'She is devoted to the children and cares deeply about them',
'She was full of ideas, gentle with them and ensured they kept their manners',
'She showed a natural affinity with children and I am sure whoever she will work for will benefit from her experience and kind hearted nature',
'She has had such a positive effect on the children and we will all miss her enthusiasm and friendship'
'It was so wonderful to have someone who is so good and so natural being with my children',
'Within minutes of her arrival, my children enjoyed her company'

  • Please note, I am a non-driver.

Please PM me in the first instance.

Many thanks
