About Me
I’m a single mum to a 12-year-old daughter. She’s bright, funny and independent, and she does best with a calm, predictable routine and someone who’s relaxed and kind with her. At home we have two dogs and a cat, who are all part of the family.
I’m looking for someone I can trust to start with the occasional evening, then build up gradually to looking after her at home for the odd weekend a couple of times a year, so I can get away for a short break. I’d like it to be someone she gets to know and feel comfortable with first, and I’m happy to do trial evenings and give a full handover of her routines, the pets and anything else you need.
We’re based in West Bridgford. References and a DBS check would be great.
My Requirements
What I need:
- Occasional evening cover, ad hoc, usually with a few days’ notice
- 2–3 times a year, a weekend or a few nights (up to about 3 nights) at our home while I’m away
- Looking after a 12-year-old, plus feeding and walking our two dogs and looking after our cat if it’s possible. If not, other arrangements can be made.
What I’d like to do first:
We’d start with a meeting and a couple of trial evenings, with me nearby, before moving on to any overnight stays.
What would be ideal:
Someone calm, reliable and friendly, who is happy to follow a routine and is comfortable with pets. References and a DBS check please, and a first aid certificate would be great but isn’t essential. I’m happy to give a full handover of routines, house details and emergency contacts.
