babysitter needed

Hi, I'm booked in for a c-section on 22 September, so will be in hospital for a few days. My DH teaches in the evening, so we will need a sitter that week for DD (4) and DS (2). Can anyone recommend a babysitter who may be available?

i could possibly help out one evening.

I have a dd who's 4 if you fancy meeting up for a coffee at all and have monday's off, i'm just down the hill slightly in Crookes.

PandaG · 28/08/2009 17:45

I also live in Crookes and know Katz - my children are 7 and 9 but am happy to meet for coffee on a Tue or Thu if you fancy it?)

I may be able to help one evening depending on my family. (am crb checked and work with children)

I use a local teen who I can heartily recommend for older children - would have to ask her about experience with younger ones.

Monday 7th is good for me. It would be easier if we could do morning or afternoon coffee/cake, both DS and DD still nap at lunch time, and at 8.5 months pregnant I have started joining them!

Katz · 06/09/2009 19:20

Can't do Thursday, I have tickets to take DD to 'Bear Hunt' at the Lyceum.

Katz - I'll pop into Cream tomorrow monring about 10, don't worry if you can't make it, my two certainly won't be complaining about spending some time there.

Panda - I'm free Wednesday morning. Do you want to meet in Cream or somewhere else?

are you sorted? do you still some babysitting?

PeppermintCream · 17/09/2009 20:39

Hope so, we have sorted out a sitter for the 22nd (one of the DCs nursery nurses) and DH has had some of his teaching hours cut, so fingers crossed, we will not need any extra childcare.
