Job description

Overview

I hope you're doing well! I'm starting a new job on 17th November, and I'm currently looking for a registered childminder to help with Zion's school runs and care while I'm at work.

During the first week (starting 17th November) my hours are 9:30 am‑5:30 pm, so I'll be leaving home around 8 am and back by 6:30‑7 pm. I would need someone who can:

• Pick Zion up from home at 7:30 am and drop him off at school for 8:30 am.
• Pick him up from school at 12:30 pm and watch him until I get home at 7 pm.

From the week starting 24th November, the hours change slightly:

• Still 7:30 am pickup from home, drop him at school for 8:30 am.
• 2 pm school pickup (or be at my house for 2 pm once the school bus starts dropping him off).
• Care until I return home around 7 pm.

I’ll be working Monday to Friday for one month. After that, my permanent shift pattern will be 2 pm‑10 pm, working:

• Week 1: Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday.
• Week 2: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

So during this schedule, I’d need you to be at my home from 2 pm until 11:30 pm, with just one Saturday every two weeks.

You’d need to be a registered childminder since Universal Credit will be covering part of the payment. It would be great if you drive, but it’s not essential.

School is Serenity School Old Palace Croydon. Home is CR5 3AZ.

Experience

Prior experience in childcare, nannying, or babysitting is highly desirable. Knowledge of child development principles and age‑specific needs. Fluency in English; proficiency in French is a plus.
