My Requirements

Our situation:
We have a family friend who currently helps with childcare on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 8:30am-4pm. She will be helping out on these days until our nursery has full-time availability. My little one attends a lovely local nursery on Wednesdays and Fridays, 8:30am-6pm.

Due to the nature of my new job, I will be working shifts, and will be home at 10pm most nights. My parents both work full time as senior consultant doctors. They often come home 5:30-6pm, and are understandably too tired and busy to help out with my toddler.

Therefore, we need a regular babysitter/bedtime nanny to watch my little one on days I’ll be working late shifts.

This will be 6pm-8pm (earlier finish if little one is asleep before 8) on Wednesdays and Fridays, and ideally 4-8pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (start time can be a bit flexible for non-nursery days if this is difficult).

Duties will include:
1) Picking my child up from nursery (my parents will try to do this most days, so this would be if they’re stuck in traffic)
2) Giving a snack (Only if hungry - something light and simple, such as fruit and yoghurt)
3) Engaging in play (depending on timing/tiredness etc on nursery days) - Ideally no screen-time, as I am actively trying to reduce this.
4) Dinner (will be pre-prepared, you won’t have to make any food)
5) Bath
6) Bedtime

This is just an example - current bedtime is variable, but on nursery days my little one does sleep at around 8pm. Trying to make this a regular thing, so routine is subject to change. For example, I’m currently phasing out the post-nursery snack and giving an early dinner, so you’ll most likely be feeding only one meal on nursery days.

NB: I take my little one’s privacy very seriously, so absolutely no identifiable photos are to be taken.

Please favourite my profile if you’re interested. I will upgrade my membership once I have enough people interested and begin to arrange informal chats/meet and greets.
