Do you want no Babysitting, every weekend free and to live in an adults only Family?
This is about me and my family, and what we need:
I live with my Husband and my adult son in Bushey.
I am 55 yrs, and my husband 61yrs.
My daughter has now left home, and lives very nearby, and pops in all the time.
Our house is semi detached, and has 4 bedrooms, and 1 bathroom.
We are an upside down House – my Husband is a London Taxi Driver, and works nights, (2pm -2am) so gets up late, I work days running a Domestic Staff Agency(9.30 -7pm), while my Son who is an Estate Agent, works days (7.30am – 7pm).
Both my husband and I work 6-7 days each week.
This means I cannot offer a person a traditional Family Home – everyone does everything at different times!
Whoever comes here must be happy to be independent – not because we are unfriendly, but because of our circumstances.
Cristina works about 6 hours a day, split between 5 hours cleaning / washing/ ironing, and about 1 hour helping with cooking and clearing up after meals.
Also, because I suffer from a bad back and legs, she offers me many kindnesses each day – including reminding me to take all my Tablets, and keeping me going with endless hot drinks!
Every weekend is free – there is no Babysitting, as my Son is nearly 24, and my Daughter (who as I said doesn’t live here) is 25!!
You would earn £100 a week from me, and then go cleaning/ working elsewhere every afternoon Monday to Friday, plus any work you choose to do on a Saturday day/ evening.
You should easily be able to earn £180 - £200 a week, and more if you choose to work at a weekend.

10 minutes on the Bus (in different directions) takes you to 5 other large North West London Suburbs – Harrow, Edgware, Stanmore, Elstree and Borehamwood... and all of these suburbs also have very many Au Pairs living there... so you can make many new friends, as well as enjoying many leisure activities, including Cinema, bowling, and swimming!
Bushey has easy transport to central London by either rail, or bus and underground.

• To be in the UK to attend Interviews
• Minimum 9months UK experience doing similar work.

Basic duties would be:
- to prepare snacks/dinner for both children,
- playing and supervising any (unlikely) homework.
- Perhaps going to some after-school activities once the older child has settled into her new routine,
- and arranging (and attending if required) play dates with school friends.

However, Mum says she can be as flexible as possible about this depending upon the nanny and her circumstances.
Mum has taken off the first 2 weeks of the child starting school to help her to settle in, and would like a nanny to start from Monday 13 September so that we have a week together before she takes sole charge. The child is a very shy little girl and will need this settling time for both the school and the nanny.

The day starts with Breakfast for everyone (you will need to feed the daughter) before they all go off to school. Then comes general tidying, and you would be free at 10am.
Your work starts again at between 3.45, when the daughter is brought home from school, and you will need to help to walk her in to the House, and onto the Sofa. She then really enjoys lots of love and attention, and plays with some special “toys”, and loves to listen to music.
The Boys are very funny and playful, and enjoy time outside in the Park and Garden, and after school activities such as Cubs (Boy Scouts), Cricket and Tennis.
Mum says: "We are a lively family. We have had many au pairs over the years, who have all enjoyed being with us. Our last girl stayed for a year and a half. We have always enjoyed having au pairs in our home and always make them welcome. My boys are very typical and will ask the au pair lots of questions and will be expected to join in games with them!! It is important that anyone who comes to our home feels comfortable with special needs, and genuinely enjoys being with children.” NLDS 336 P/T COMPANION –HOUSEKEEPER.LIVE OUT, HARROW.

Are you kind and chatty and friendly? Are you happy to keep an elderly gentleman company, and also do a little Housework and cooking for him? Then this would be the perfect job for you.
A widowed elderly gentleman, (85 years), who is blind, lives on his own in Harrow Weald. His Wife died 2 -3 years ago, and although he has very regular visits from his Family, and friends, his daughters would like to feel that he has someone with him to both chat with him, and keep an eye on him to make sure he is OK.
What his daughters are organising on his behalf is a companion / care type of person, who would be happy to live and work with him on Saturdays and Sundays.
(He has a full time person during the week.)
In this time you would be needed to do a little cleaning of a 2 bedroom Flat, take him out for a walk, drive him out and about (car and petrol allowance given), prepare an lunch and light evening meal for him, and generally keep him company.
