Claudia
Registered Childminder Job in Crowborough
About Me
We are a warm, busy and friendly family living in Crowborough. I’m Claudia and my husband is Guy. We have identical twin girls, Hennie and Leora, who are 3 years old and we are also expecting our baby boy in January 2027.
Hennie and Leora are happy, confident and very sociable little girls. They love drawing, colouring, playing together, being outside and getting involved in little activities. They are both very used to having childcare and have always had au pairs helping with nursery pick ups, so they are comfortable with someone coming into the family and looking after them.
We both work full time, so we are looking for someone kind, reliable and responsible who can become a familiar and trusted person for the girls. The main role would involve collecting them from nursery at 3pm, bringing them home and looking after them until we finish work, usually around 6pm.
We are a relaxed family and want the girls to have fun and feel comfortable with their babysitter. We don’t expect anything complicated, just someone who is warm, engaging and happy to play with them, help with a snack or simple dinner and keep them entertained until we are finished working.
We are hoping to find someone who could become a regular part of our family rather than someone who only does occasional babysitting. As we are expecting our baby boy in January, there may also be opportunities for additional babysitting and childcare in the future.
My Requirements
I’m looking for a babysitter to help look after our 3.5 year old twin girls, Hennie and Leora, over November and December whilst we’re between au pairs and before I go on maternity leave. I’m due to have a baby in early January so we’re just looking for some extra help during this short transition period.
Our au pair is returning to Guatemala as her UK visa comes to an end on 20th November. I won’t be starting maternity leave until Christmas so we’re looking for someone who can help us every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3pm - 6pm.
The hours are fixed each day and the role would be:
• 3pm – Pick Hennie and Leora up from St John’s Nursery, Crowborough. They have always had au pairs picking them up so they are very familiar and comfortable with being collected by their childcare provider
• 4/4:30pm – Give the girls dinner. I’ll provide the dinner schedule and everything they need
• 5/5:30pm – Bath time
• Before leaving – A quick tidy up of the kitchen, living room and girls bedroom so everything is left tidy/put away
• 6pm – Finish
We live on Ghyll Road in Crowborough. St John’s Nursery is only around a 3 minute drive or 10 minute walk from our house.
My husband and I will both be working from home between 3pm and 6pm so we will be around if needed but we’ll be working and would therefore be looking for someone who is happy to take care of the girls independently during those hours.
The dates we would need are:
- 24th, 25th & 26th November
- 1st, 2nd & 3rd December
- 8th, 9th & 10th December
- 15th, 16th & 17th December
That’s 12 days in total and 36 hours of babysitting.
Hennie and Leora are lovely, very happy and sociable girls and are very used to having childcare around them. We’d ideally love to find someone warm, reliable and confident who we can build a good relationship with.
If everything works well, we’d also love to continue using the babysitter for ad hoc babysitting next year once the baby arrives.
Please let me know if this sounds like something you might be interested in. I’d be very happy to have a chat and answer any questions. ?
Thanks so much!
