looking for a nanny share in kent!

[mandalay]

Is there anyone who would know or recommend a good nanny for a monday to wednesday position!

It's been a nightmare trying to find someone.We have contacted several agencies but there seems to be a real shortage of nannies at the moment as none of them have come up with anyone.

We are based in sevenoaks. While I'm at it is there anyone around who goes to any local toddler groups. I'm relatively new to the area so it's quite hard trying to get started.

It may be a bit too far - but some nannies are prepared to travel to find work - www.nannylink.co.uk are very good. They are based in Sidcup. I have used them for a couple of temporary positions and have found them to be very good. If you go to their website they have some of the nannies currently on their books there.

Thanks JMG. I have seen their website and I agree they did look very good but I just thought Sidcup was a bit far so I didn't bother contacting them. I'll have another look and see if there's anyone around.

I have a problem with a nanny agency I just registered with. They randomly sent me a weekly fee of £20 (they say discounted from £65 - the cheek')! ld also I paid their annual £150 fee for their babysitting service and I mentioend from the start that I would also need two mornings/afternoons. They never mentioned this weekly fee - they only sent me their T&Cs after I complained about the weekly fee. I was ill with nasty flu when they sent the daytime help - I feel they saw me vulnerable and are trying to take advantage of the situation as I seemed desperate. Their argument is that £150 only covers evening babysitting service. Anyone have experience of dealing with a situation like this? Thanks
