Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help, I am currently living in Dumbarton Scotland (g82 5dq) and my husband is in the Navy as I work nights I am stuck when he is away does anyone know anyone who works nights as a childminder? where I am from a lady used to do it for 3 pound an hour, I dont mind going to them or vice verser.

He shouldnt be going for a while now but trying to build up a list of names ready.

I would be happy for someone to stay at my house it would be 10-7.30 she would be asleep when you would arrive and all i need to her to be dressed and given b/fast in the morning.

Thanks
Sharon

lindseyfox · 25/12/2008 17:53

Otherwise if they are known to wake during the night i charge an hrly rate of £12 an hr.

Try sitters.co.uk

They have great coverage in London - not sure about where you are but you might as well give it a go.

We have just started using them and they are fab.
