Hello,
We're looking elsewhere but I thought I'd try trusty mumsnet to see if anybody can recommend a full time nanny to look after our children from mid-September. Our son will be 3 and a 1/2 and our daughter will be just 2. We're moving to the area which is why we need a new nanny.
We found our current (brilliant) nanny through word of mouth but don't know anybody in Dulwich so can't tap into the local nanny/parents network! I have had over 50 replies to a recent advert and am finding it hard to know where to start. We're considering agencies too but a recommendation from a mum would be great...
Brief details are:
- cover between about 8.30 a.m. and 6.30 p.m. Monday - Friday,
- no babysitting required generally although we might need the nanny to stay a bit later occasionally if we are stuck at work,
- we'd like somebody who is reliable, loves little children, organised and good fun,
- preferably Ofsted registered with at least 3 years' experience.
So, the usual Mary Poppins requirements really!
We're a really relaxed and friendly family (well, I would say that) and can give any potential nannies our current nanny's number if they want to discuss what we're like to work for.
Thank you...!
