Hi there,

My name is Rachel, & i'm a student at SOAS studying Chinese. I've been babysitting on a regular basis for 5 years now, and love looking after children.

I charge £7 hour before midnight and £9 an hour after, or a mutually agreed flat rate for regular positions.

I am available to work Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri 5.30 til late, Thurs 2pm til late, and anytime on the Weekends. I am also free to work as a full time holiday nanny from March 27th- April 25th, and June-July.

I'm more than happy to prepare meals, teach beginners mandarin Chinese to children, assist at birthday parties & work late or 24 hour nights.

I am CRB checked and can provide contactable references from previous clients & employers.

My phone number is 07815 853644 and my email address is [email protected], please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions

Hi,

Thank you for deleting my message. But I wish you could put something like "message deleted by the owner request" or something like that. As I'm a regular Mumsnetter and I dont want people on here to think that I have said something nasty or against Mumsnet policy.

If you could mend it that would be great!

Regards,
