Is there anyone who would use a sleep nanny here interested in striking a barter-esque deal?

I want to go back to doing behaviour management and sleep training while I study - been thinking about it a lot recently and I'm sorting my OU course out this week, but for the work side of things I'd need a website set up.

So, was just wondering if there were any mnetters thinking of using a sleep nanny who either web design or have dp/dh who web designs who'd be up for a skills exchange?

I haven't got ready funds to pay for a website, but could afford hosting. My exdp did my previous site but had to fold everything when we separated.

By the way, I don't think this contravenes mumsnet policy re. advertising (not got a business to advertise yet!) but please do say if you think my post does.

where are you hobbgoblin?

Yes where are you? My friend desperately needs help with her ds's sleep.

Hi, I'm Herts but in the past I covered London as this was where I lived and it is still close enough to. Have worked Hampshire, Kent, Oxfordshire, and pretty much all round the M25!

Now I'm a little further North I could entertain a little further North than Oxfordshire and possibly Yorkshire/Lancashire, with planning, as family are there so I do travel that way occasionally.

Hope that helps!

Should also add I have an enhanced CRB as I work with children and families in my existing position.

puffling and lovelymama do you know people with internet design ability?

well my hubby has a bit of experience but we live in Kent so thinking that this is too far? do you do personal visits or is it more of a phone thing?

Hi lovelymama

Kent would be fine, I've worked with a mumsnetter in Maidstone so know down as far as that but anywhere in Kent is fine, really.

I do one to one work with the family and aim to see as much pre-bed routine as possible and also like to work with both parents if applicable/possible. I follow up with telephone and email support.

I can also do solely telephone and email advice but the only reason this isn't my preference is quite often it doesn't give me the whole picture in terms of what a family is like and what will work best for them.

You can email me at [email protected]

Hobbgoblin. So sorry, DH says he's just got too much on at the moment at work and is too knackered in the evening to so the amount of work a new website would take.

I'm really sorry if I've wasted your time - I hope you have some luck finding someone

Hobbgoblin,

I'm in need of some sleep training help for my 6 month old ds2 and my dp does a good basic website. It isn't his job, but could set you up with a address and site with a good design to get you started. What sort of exchange were you thinking off?

hobbgoblin · 07/04/2009 20:39

Hi Strike1

I'm thinking of offering typical sleep training package of 1 home visit (worth £150-£200) or 2 home visits (£300-£400) with follow up email support in both cases in exchange for simple website detailing contact info, services, qualifications/recommendations.

I had a site previously so hopefully wouldn't be too much of a 'mare to work with in terms of setting out the design/knowing what I want. ExDP was a web designer so I know a bit about what is do-able and what isn't!

Where are you?

You can email me sleepandbehaviour at googlemail dot com

I don't want to post too much detail here as it could start to become too much of an advert and I haven't paid for advertiser status yet

Just giving this a final bump as no offers, er, in the offing!
