About Me
We’re a friendly family with two lively young boys, aged three and one. I’ve recently returned to work from maternity leave and am looking for a kind, reliable, and experienced part-time nanny/mother’s helper to join us. The role is Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8am–6pm, with the possibility of extra hours on Tuesdays and Fridays. This is an opportunity to care for both boys, support nursery drop-offs and pick-ups, and help with light household tasks, becoming a valued part of our family.
We’re looking for someone warm, patient, and dependable to support our family’s daily routine. While our older son attends nursery full-time, the role will involve quality time with both boys, focusing on play, development, and general care for our 1-year-old.
My Requirements
Responsibilities include:
- Engaging and caring for both boys, including playtime, local classes, stay-and-play sessions, and trips to the playground.
- Preparing and serving meals and snacks.
- Maintaining a safe, clean, and tidy environment for the children.
- Communicating regularly about the boys’ routines, needs, and activities.
- Managing nursery drop-offs and pick-ups for our older son.
- Assisting with light household tasks, such as cooking, washing, and loading/unloading the dishwasher.
- Being reliable, punctual, and flexible within the schedule.
We’re looking for someone who can start as soon as possible and commit for at least a year. Experience with infants and toddlers is essential, as well as a positive, nurturing attitude and a genuine love of children. This is more than just a job — we hope to welcome someone who will become a trusted and valued member of our family.

I regret to share my disappointing experience with Suzy, who we hired to care for our almost one-year-old son. Initially, we were hopeful and had high expectations for a long-lasting arrangement, as we clearly communicated our need for a commitment of at least a year, with two days a week. Unfortunately, our expectations were shattered.
For over two months, she appeared to be reliable and bonded well with our child, although she called sick three times in this period. We invested significant time and effort into ensuring a smooth transition for our son, even as I returned to work. Despite her prior assurance of a year-long commitment, she suddenly let us down without any notice, citing changes in her living situation.
We were concerned and tried reaching out to understand the circumstances better, but our attempts to communicate were met with silence. This abrupt departure left us in a tough position, struggling to find alternative childcare amidst my return to work. I discovered that she had been actively logging into her account on a daily basis despite her claimed inability to continue working for us.
I can't help but feel deeply disappointed by this situation. Our child had developed a bond with her, becoming excited to see her each week. Her sudden departure has left us questioning her intentions and commitment from the start. As parents, we were determined to ensure our child's emotional well-being and security, and it's disheartening to think that he may have been caught in a situation where he wasn't a genuine priority.
In hindsight, I wish we had received the honesty and professionalism we expected, and that our child's emotional attachment hadn't been taken lightly. As we move forward, we're committed to finding a caregiver who shares our dedication to our child's welfare and offers the stability and reliability we sought from the beginning. This experience serves as a reminder of the importance of choosing caregivers carefully and thoroughly vetting their intentions and commitment.

Dear Shohreh,
It is absolutely a ridiculous and misleading information and I do not tolerate the mud on my name.
I have never had a contract with you, so you have no right to comment such nonsenses.
I felt sick, I have reported it in time and I had to cancel my " housekeeping and babysitting " commitment with you.
I hope you will find peace in your heart and sole and find a new option in "childcare"that I would describe as a position which is more likely suitable for a housekeeper or an au-pair rather than a skilled nanny.
Thank you!
