My Requirements

I am looking for someone who can collect my six-year-old daughter on Tuesday evenings at 16:55 to take her to Rainbows at the Scout Hut and then drop her back off at home on completion at 18:15.

My daughter is very well behaved (although she will be cautious around you to begin with as she is clever and has been raised not to trust strangers) and I can supply a child seat if you need to use a car for the transportation element of the brief (my home is 0.4mi / an eight minute walk from the Scout Hut and walking is encouraged).

I haven’t instructed a childminder before so this is my first experience of doing so but I expect punctuality and strong communications (SMS or WhatsApp are preferable since I work long hours and phone calls aren’t convenient). Lateness and scattiness is not tolerated.

A Zoom/Teams/WhatsApp video call in advance would be mandatory and I pay my creditors promptly so you wouldn’t be waiting for payment following an invoice.

In due course, there may be further opportunities but for now I don’t envisage a full time requirement. I may, within the next 12 months, require a additional services from Tuesday - Thursday, but this is TBC. For now, the requirement is limited to Tuesday evenings as described above. This would suit a local who has the flexibility to to do a pick up and drop off one evening a week. I would provide an extra £5 during the contracted period for you to buy a hot drink so that waiting in the car for an hour (if that is how you would spend your time between the drop off and pick up) is less arduous. The coop nearby has a hot drink vending machine.

Very happy to discuss as I am aware this will be of limited interest to someone looking for full time opportunities.
