My Requirements

We are looking for a child minder to take care of our 11 month in February 2025 for 4 days a week. We have a dog but keeping in mind that a child minder will have to divide their attention across more children we would prefer no dogs, unless all of the below requirements are met:
- the dogs are kept in a separate space normally
- any exposure to the dog is planned and supervised, i.e. no other chores
- the dog is not an aggressive/overly territorial breed

Description:
- Organising creative educational activities at home such as games, drawing and crafting
- Preparing children’s meals and feeding them, including bottle-feeding

- You prioritise a safe environment for our baby, this means a fully baby proofed environment with basic child safeguarding measures in place, example: front door is locked so no-one can enter the property from the outside without a key, baby gates in front of stairs both ways and so forth.
