About Me
I am a working mum who is now returning to work on part time basis. This will gradually increase and as of new year will commence on full time basis. my partner is often away so look forward to having someone experienced to help me navigate this return to work combined with childcare and household support
My Requirements
I am currently looking for a part time nanny who would be able to look after our 1 yo baby each Wednesdays from mid June. This would go up to Tue and Wed from the beginning of September. we are based in Maulden. We are generally outdoorsy and would for like our boy to spend as much time out as possible to explore. It's important for us he follows a healthy diet and as such I would prep most meals ahead but would also appreciate someone to be able to help with this.

Sad having to leave this review but feel it's appropriate to warn any potential parents engaging with Antoinette. Whilst i can't comment on her quality of care, her reliability is lacking. Antoinette reached out to me after posting the advert. We interviewed Antoinette and following week, invited her to spend a few hours with our baby boy. He seemed to like her from the get-go, so we offered her a job then. She accepted and sent us the contract, which needed some minor tweaks. We agreed to iron these out during her next visit. A week or so later, and just under 3 weeks before my return to work (FTM), Antoinette informed us she took a job elsewhere. At such short notice, we are left scrambling with very limited options and in position where instead of having a preference, we are having to take what is left available (only 1 childminder in the area with space). We hoped to keep our boy in familiar environment to soften the blow of my return to work, but are instead feeling he is unprepared with very little time to adapt to a long day away from home, familiar people and myself (the childminder available is pending a visit!). As far as Antionette is concerned, this is still reasonable notice which only highlights her lack of empathy and understanding towards parents facing their first return to work and consideration how big of a change it is for the baby.

A 3 hour trial session
After our initial meeting, I heard nothing for 2 weeks. Then I was asked to babysit for 3 hours. I was then offered the job. But over the next week, Alex changed days & hours - so I declined the position.
