Hiring a nanny just for school runs (morning + afternoon)

I simply can't get the hang of morning school runs. The little one isn't that troublesome these days about getting his clothes sorted and on + shower and brushing his teeth has become a breeze. The problem is I wake up in the morning and simply can't get myself together. No number of espressos can help me and most recently I made us late by losing my phone. Where was it? In the cat food bowl when I thought I had given the cat food... Instead I gave her my phone. As a new mum I'm thinking that since our son isn't too much of a handful these days maybe getting someone in is the answer?

Does anyone else have someone to help with 9am morning school runs? How much do they help out? Do they get your little one ready too?

Olly thank you! I am trying to refrain from saying much else about myself but I've given away identifiable info which is a mistake. I appreciate the empathy and genuine kindness

I am inclined to believe the OP... Hope you manage to get things sorted

OP, are you famous or from a famous hotelier type family? If we google will we find you have your own Wiki page perhaps? Wink

Nightsky is creepy

Ooh, you share David Bowie's birthday. Do you know him?

Could you try getting up to do the nursery run but then going back to bed afterwards for the morning?

Do the rest of us nightsky, with your magic powers.

I thought the little one was 4 months old.

fidel1ne · 07/01/2016 23:12

The school thing turned out not to be true flat. So did some other stuff.

ThruUlikeAshortcut · 07/01/2016 23:14

Thru are you 18? That might be key

I used to be Grin

I go for a walk in Hyde park every lunchtime, Thru. There is an abundance of men in their thirties walking their dogs who make loads of money working American hours from home. You must be doing it wrong

Ahh! Spend too much time in the Diana playground watching my children - need to ditch the kids and get a dog!

FlatOnTheHill · 07/01/2016 23:18

Night everyone...Ive heard enough bollox for one night Grin

ThruUlikeAshortcut · 07/01/2016 23:19

Bed time for me - dd2 has an 11+ in the morning so need to get up early!
