About Me
Hi! :) I’m Eliza, a very busy Pilates-loving wife to Mo and working mum of two wonderful children, Jonathan (14) and Victoria (7). Life can be hectic with our work schedules, but I love balancing family time with with Ministry work and an active lifestyle . We recently moved to Didsbury, Manchester from Paris, and are looking for a flexible, reliable, and trustworthy childminder to help with the kids.
My Requirements
Location: Didsbury, Manchester
We are a busy professional couple based in Didsbury, Manchester, and are looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and flexible childminder/babysitter to help care for our two children, Jonathan (14) and Victoria (7). As we run our own company, we often have late meetings, charity events, and occasional work travel (sometimes abroad), so we need someone reliable to step in when needed.
Key Details:
Jonathan (14): Jonathan is quite independent and capable; he can cook simple meals for himself and his younger sister, Victoria. He doesn’t require constant supervision but benefits from someone trustworthy to check in with.
Victoria (7): Victoria is also independent, helpful with chores, and follows a routine in the evenings. She is in bed by 7:00 pm. Her school schedule is straightforward, and she is easy to manage alongside her brother.
Responsibilities:
Occasional childcare, with flexibility on dates and times, as our schedule varies. We can provide a calendar in advance (usually up to 3 months ahead) so you’ll know when we need help.
Helping Jonathan and Victoria with their morning routine, including school drop-off when necessary.
Ensuring that they are safe and well-cared for in the evenings, including monitoring their activities and ensuring they follow their set routines.
Heating pre-made organic dinners for them, which will be provided in advance.
Ideally, assisting with any light chores or tasks around the house, as both children are already accustomed to helping out.
Ideal Candidate:
Trustworthy & Responsible: Since we rely on you to help when we’re away, we need someone dependable.
Flexible: As our work schedule can change, we need someone who can adjust to different timings. It’s helpful if you have other work/studies that allow flexibility.
Childcare Experience: Prior experience with children, especially around the age group of Jonathan and Victoria, is preferred.
Tutoring Experience (Bonus): If you can offer tutoring or assist with homework, that would be a great added bonus.
Driver (Preferred): Having your own car is recommended, as it can make school runs and other errands easier, though not required.
Why This Role Is Ideal:
Work & Study Balance: The children are at a great independent age, so this role is ideal if you need time to study or work on your own projects during the day.
School Run Simplicity: Both children attend the same private school, so the school run is easy to manage.
Reliable Schedule: While the days are not fixed, you will know in advance when we need help, so this position provides stability for the right person.
If you’re looking for a flexible and rewarding role that allows you to work around your own schedule while helping two lovely children, we'd love to hear from you!
