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 09.30 - 13.30 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, I am looking for someone to work 3-4 hours, two or three mornings/afternoons/a mix per week (between 09.00 - 13.00 or 13.30-17.30 is ideal). I am currently looking at preschools and childminder settings with the idea to start Henry on two mornings a week in the new year. Once he has settled into this routine I would then be looking to consolidate hours and would be able to offer 5 hours one day a week.
*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 (preferably not on a Wednesday, and non consecutive days works best but this is still an option).
I can also offer additional ad hoc hours if desired/if availability allows.
