Helen
Temporary Nanny Or Babysitter Needed For 3 Year Old
About Me
Hello,
My partner and I are freelancers and there is a period of 6 weeks across May and June where we need someone to be at our house at 6.30am and then take our son to nursery at 8am and collect him at 5.30pm, take him home, feed him, play with him & bath him until 7.45pm when my partner will return home. This would be Mon-Fri each week for 6 weeks. We ideally want one person who can drop off and pick up so our son has some important consistency in what will feel like an alien time to him, but would also like to hear from people who might only be able to do one or the other.
This might be able to fit around people’s full time jobs or other commitments as they would have 8am - 5pm free each day, so hoping it might appeal to some experienced childcare professionals.

Ashleigh came to our help when we needed a temporary nanny for our 22 month old. She was able to come to our house early, give him breakfast and take him to nursery. She then collected him, fed him, played with him, bathed and put him to bed each night.
Our son instantly bonded with her, she has such a kind and gentle nature yet is fun and engaging. They created such a lovely bond and I only wish I could keep her permanently. The photos and videos that she would send us only confirmed how much fun he was having and I would say that he thrived in her company.
When you entrust someone to look after your child you are putting so much faith in them that they will look after them in a way that you would and Ashleigh certainly did that, I would not hesitate to hire her again and I hope that we will, and if you're reading this then I would encourage you to get in touch with her!

This is a massively delayed review but I just wanted to sing Tameka's praises. I booked her to look after my then 13 month old son, and this was the first time we'd ever left him with a 'stranger' but Tameka was everything we could have hoped for, she won him right round, they were playing games, singing and having her look after him totally kept my mind at rest.
She sent us frequent updates, and she will be my first port of call every time we need a sitter, and as soon as she is interested in Nannying again, I would snap her right up!

We booked Chloe when we were working up in Glasgow to look after my 10month old for an evening, she was super polite, conscientious and nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again if we were back up in Scotland.
