About Me

I am a consultant in the construction industry. Our family are very close and consists of my 16 year old daughter who has just started college. My husband also works. We share a son who is almost 4. We live in a 3 bedroom house between Havant and Portsmouth.

I employed a nanny with a degree in teaching full-time for over 2 years when my daughter was small. I think from the age of 5 to 7. She created after school lessons plans. She also helped with light chores and preparing meals.

I work flexible hours from home 4 days a week and commute Thursdays. Chposing my own start and finish times, which means I can be flexible with your working hours if needed, but would prefer some structure and routine.

Sometimes, I am called away for work meetings and site inspections. I don't know when this will be and I'm not given much notice.

I can't manage a full-time job with the household chores and caring for my son. I'm struggling to get my work done, keep on top of the cleaning and cooking and give him the time and education he deserves.

He's a good boy. Doesn't have tantrums. Not bratty. Potty trained. No allergies. Likes his food and crazy for dinosaurs. Scared of the dark, ducks and some dogs. Hates chocolate. Dislikes cheese.

Enjoys playing with sand, slime, his digger lorries, toy dinsoaurs, lego, story time (he has a small library), and drawing.

He is a quiet calm child as we have a quiet calm house. He doesn't run around screaming and doesn't like getting his hands or clothes dirty.

He can amuse himself but loves having company, although he's not a fan of being around other children. He is not a sharer.

If children try to touch his toys or get too close to him he packs his things up and asks to go home. Perhaps from bad experiences at nursery.

He doesn't really like to be alone and wants constant company and attention from an adult. He likes to chat a lot and has a brilliant sense of humour. Makes us laugh every day.

If he's scolded for doing something wrong, even in the softest gentlest way, he will put his bottom lip out and cry, then ask you to apologise and hug him.

Very affectionate. Loves cuddles. Polite, says please and thank you. He's a bit lazy and doesn't like walking very much but loves to play and will run around outside. He likes being asked to help and given chores/tasks to do.

He will tell you he's 25 not 3 and wants to be told he's a good boy, a big boy, and a strong boy. Will not eat re-heated food. I don't know how he knows, he just knows.

We don't have pets and don't smoke. He can't swim yet but would like him to. Taken a while to get him over his fear of water.

We eat organic, where possible. No pork. We are a Muslim family. Not strictly, but obviously not looking for anyone who has issues with it.
