My Requirements

Two opportunities in W5/South Ealing/Ealing Broadway...

We are seeking an enthusiastic and energetic person to look after and
play with our young son, Tristan, for about 3 hours per weekday
afternoon as of September.  Exact timings are TBC, and pay would depend on the applicant's experience as well as the arrangement in terms of the below. 

We will also be seeking an au pair to live with us from around the
same time.  We would like someone to help us with bed time, folding
and putting away washing, and some babysitting.  It would be ideal for us if the two jobs could be done by the same person.  Other than the above duties and afternoons with Tristan (see below for more information), you would be free to work or study.  Your accommodation would be free of charge.
We are based in W5 (between South Ealing and Ealing Broadway tubes)
and are soon to become a family of 5. Tristan has an older brother,
aged 5, and, all being well, should be getting a new baby sister in
August!

Tristan will turn 4 in November and is a bit of a late bloomer when it
comes to talking and some of his motor skills.  His comprehension of
language is excellent in both English and French (I speak French to
the children as I am half French).  We think someone who is interested
in a career working with children in teaching, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, psychology or even medicine would find playing with and
looking after Tristan to be relevant to their future plans.  Because I
will have my hands quite full with our new baby, we think it would be
great for Tristan to have someone dynamic and fun in his life to take
him to the park and practice running and climbing etc, or to play with
him at home and give him that extra bit of attention he needs to help
him progress.  We have all been learning some Makaton to try and help
Tristan with his expressive language and so, depending on how he has
progressed by September, we’d like to find someone eager to learn or
already experienced with Makaton.

Please do get in touch if you might be interested. Thank you!
