Need a nanny in North London- any agency recs or any nanny out there needing work?!!

I have made a monumental cock up and am now facing starting a temp part time contract in two weeks with no childcare.

I have two children- one is at school full time and the othr will be starting nursery at the school in the mornings.

I need a lovely lovel nanny to come and help me.
He or she would drop kids off and collect at lunchtime and end of school time and then entertain them park in front of TV till either Dh or I get home- about 6.30.

We are in North London and the school is about 2mins walk away.
I'd hope that the nanny would do kids' washing and a bit of tidying when the smaller child is at nursery.

Please help- I am feeling a bit sick becuase it seems my other chilcare option has fallen through

Ilovethecake, my email is mumenstoops at gmail.com

I don't want to say where as it is a sensitive subject!

I know that sounds mad but I don't really want to talk about it over the internet

I am lovely, though.

yes, that should be right- mumsnetoops at googlemail.com

Use @ instead of at, obviously.
It must be working becuase there is an email from an agency in the inbox already- that wasn't you was it?

Have you tried Gumtree??

ilovemydog · 05/09/2008 08:41

The Grove in Islington? The aren't a chain, so are more flexible as far as not committing to a thousand years before starting.

ilovemydog · 05/09/2008 08:42

Oops - sorry, you needed a nanny....

i've looked at all opf the gumtree stuff and nnnyjob and it is the volume of people you have to sift through that is daunting i must admit.

So i thought i'd see if there was anybody out here in mumsnetland first
