Richard
Registered Childminder Job in Newcastle Upon Tyne
About Me
Hello! We are a family of three (plus a big sister!) based primarily in South Yorkshire, but we split our time between home and the North East, where we have a second base near NE17 to be close to family.
My wife Kate and I both work full-time. Our youngest son is currently 10 months old—he’s a happy, curious little boy who loves exploring. I also have an older daughter who lives with her mum and attends school in Whickham. Because we spend a lot of time traveling between South Yorkshire and the North East, we are looking to build a local support connection for our son while we're staying up north.
My Requirements
Since we don't have a regular local support network in the North East, we are looking for a reliable, caring, and registered childminder based in or near the Whickham area to look after our son while Kate and I are working.
- Pattern: Ad-hoc / flexible booking.
- Days: Some weeks we will need care for a few days (between Monday and Thursday), while other weeks we won't require any days at all depending on our location.
- Notice: We work off a set schedule and will always provide our exact care requirements about a month in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Ideal Match
We’d love to find a childminder who:
- Offers a home-from-home, nurturing environment for a 10-month-old.
- Has flexibility to accommodate ad-hoc or variable weekly schedules with a month’s notice.
- Enjoys outdoor play, early learning activities, and routine-building for babies.
If this sounds like a flexible arrangement that could fit into your current settings or booking structure, we’d love to chat, ask a few questions, and arrange a time to meet up!
