I'm a single mum (40 something) with a six year old boy in central London. I'm a professional woman working four days a week, living in central London. I'd like to find another single parent to share with... and help each other out with the ups and downs of parenting.

contact me if you think you might be interested.

Hi,

I'm looking for another mum (or two other single parents) to look at housesharing with in West London. I have a bit of flexibility on area, just as long as easy access to M3/M4 and a safe, child-friendly area.

I'm 26 and my little girl is nearly 2. I currently work four full days a week in Marleybone and am keen to find other single parents in my situation who like the idea of taking the pressure off financially, and getting a bit of company for themselves and the kids through housesharing a property.

Please do get in touch on here or on 07581 339550 if interested.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, i'm a 32yr old single mum with a (just turned) 4yr old girl.
Currently live in North Acton but would like to live in W10 and surrounding areas to be closer to her school. I don't mind sharing the room with her (if we get a 2 or 3 bed) i know it's a quite pricey area but if we're only footing half the bill then it's not too bad :) can pay up to 1,000 per month. Ideally move mid/end of August before school starts in September.

Thanks

Please call me 07944276934

I'm looking for a 30+ single parent to share a central London flat and a nanny.

I am social, organised professional woman from Germany with a lovely little girl.

It would be fun to share a 3-4 bed flat or small house with another single parent. Battersea, Kentish Town, Shepherds Bush.. I am open as long as it's fairly central. Preferably from September or October. I work full-time, so would like to share a nanny too.

If interested, please email me at [email protected]

Hi Everyone,

Well, I hope this advert is not viewed negatively. I am a single father from Newcastle although I have spent the past 12 years living abroad in China, the Netherlands and Belgium. Anyway, I have been offered a place on a postgraduate course at Kings College which I would really like to attend.

I am not looking for extra help taking care of my daughter but I'll be able to help with anything that is needed and am happy to baby sit if you need a night off. I am looking to share with another single parent because I want my daughter to be around another child (preferably a little girl) so that she watches less TV. I really want stability and therefore I am looking for longer term accommodation. I have start up money but I will need to get a job although I am entitled to housing benefit etc.

My daughter is nearly six. She is quiet and very calm. I am also calm, caring and easy to get along with.

If you have a spare room (or two) and have a daughter and are looking for someone to share rent (and have some fun of course) then I would love to hear from you. My daughter and I need to move to Londonearly/mid September.

Text me with your details please and I will call you back as soon as I have a free moment.

Hi all. I have a double room to rent in my 3 bed house. We are in SE24, between Brixton and Camberwell. Really want a calm and friendly single parent family to move in to share the obvious benefits of having two adults around. There is a comfortable living / dining area with a real fire, a spacious bathroom in which to swing both our cats, and a little garden. Suitable for someone with one child who could share with my little boy who is 14 months. The space is available from the 1st September. Is there anyone out there who would like to share?

Hi My names Emma I'm 38 and I'm looking for another single parent to share a flat/house with or for somebody who wants to share their space in Brighton. Im currently living in Hackney London and and am just about to put our house on the market so it would be around January (if the sale goes well!) I live with my 12 year old daughter and our three cats. I think it would be so much nicer to share a place and be able to support one another also such a bonus for the kids to have a permanent play mate!
Please let me know if you are interested :)

nardine · 26/09/2012 11:00

Hi my name is Nardine. I am looking for a single parent to share a house in croydon. I am a proffessional single woman in my 30's. I am currently using a child minder in croydon, very proffessional and cheap, so anyone sharing will have the benefit of me introducing my child minder to. My son is 1 year old and would love to have a play mate. Get in contact if you are interested.

Madge40 · 26/09/2012 17:47

Hi all. I have a 1 huge double and 1 large single room to rent in our rented house house. We are in SW12, between Brixton, clapham, streatham hill and Balham, very central really. My landlord has agreed that renting to 2 single parents could work extremely well. I would really like a calm and friendly single parent family to move in to share the obvious benefits of having two adults around. There is a large comfortable living / dining area with a real fire, a spacious bathroom and a little garden. Suitable for someone with one child and wants their own space too. The rooms are available now, is there anyone out there who would like to share?

dimiller · 11/10/2012 07:25

Hello everybody! I'm currently looking for another single parent (single mum/dad) to share a house or flat with preferably in Croydon, Bromley, Orpington but I'm also open to move somewhere else in London. I'm a single mum in my 20s and I have a 2 yr old boy.

Please let me know if you're interested!

dimiller · 11/10/2012 07:28

Hi, Nardine!

I would be interested. Email me if you're still looking [email protected]

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

puddingfest · 14/10/2012 17:14

Hi everyone! Madge40, I'd be quite interested in having a chat with you. I've been thinking about this single-parent houseshare thing for a while now, but the time has come to pull my finger out. I'm currently living between Tooting Bec and Balham, and my 12-year-old daughter attends Graveney secondary school.

We're both pretty easy-going (well, apart from her teen moments!), I work full time as a journalist in central London, and my daughter spends equal time with me and her dad (week on/week off). Could you give me a bit more info?

Alternatively, I'd love to have a chat with anyone who might consider renting a house with me, ideally in the Wandsworth area?

Thanks!

busybeafr · 19/10/2012 22:23

HI,
I am a French single mum living in the center of Bristol. I am looking to meet other single parents willing to create a community life style by sharing a house with 2 or 3 other single parents. I know this might sound idealistic but I like to imagine unity around sharing, learning, splitting bills, supporting one another under a same roof. If you would like to discuss feel free to get in touch via email. warmth - B

arrozconleche · 29/10/2012 04:00
