About Me
My name is Sophie and I live with my 3 year old little boy, Henry, partner Charles and our elderly Golden Retriever, Luna!
I currently look after my little boy full time but have long term health issues so am now looking for a bit of help. He’s is a typical energetic toddler and loves doing creative play, music and anything where he can move his body about. I follow Montessori ideas around play and take a gentle parenting approach to raising Henry.
My Requirements
Childminder role:
Looking for someone as local to Horsell, Woking as possible, up to 5 miles. I am ideally looking for two mornings or afternoons a week, and preferably all year, not just term time (although could work around this). I am happy to cover the cost of two full days, but would still want to collect Henry at a half day point (so something that looks like 09.00-13.00 if a morning session). Flexible with the days of the week currently although preferably not on a Wednesday.
Nanny role:
My ideal Nanny would be someone who is enthusiastic with enough energy to look after Henry, who is a typical outgoing toddler. I am happy for play to be child-led, but it would be great if you also came with some ideas of your own to keep things interesting - Henry loves doing crafts, building things, and spending lots of time outdoors, whether that’s playing in his mud kitchen or sandpit, or generally pottering about doing some ‘gardening’.
Initially you would be within the home/ with myself and Henry on short trips out, but once a relationship has been built, it would be great for you to start taking Henry out and about locally without me.
I am looking for someone to work 3-4 hours, two mornings/afternoons/a mix per week (between 09.00 - 13.00 or 13.30-17.30 is ideal) but would possibly look to add more hours on as time goes on. *For anyone also happy to clean, I can offer an additional 3 hours dedicated to this either added on to the nanny hours or a separate day*.
I am currently flexible as to which days of the week (excluding Wednesday currently - this day can be used for cleaning), but would require two non-consecutive days. ** I can offer a third morning or afternoon until the end of the year as my health is particularly bad currently so need a bit more support in the week. **
I can also offer additional ad hoc hours if desired/if availability allows.
