Contact: Sarah - 07890 995 724 or sarahchaytor@gmail.com OR Flavia (07424 036977)

Flavia has worked for us for the past two years, looking after our daughter (now 3), and will be looking after our son when I go back to work in Feburary (when he'll be 11 months). We'd really like him to have a baby companion (we previously shared with another family and our daughter and their son have become really good friends).

She'll be working for us Mondays-Wednesdays from February, and from March will also be doing Thursday mornings with both our son and daughter, so has full- or part-time availability. Flavia currently works out of our home and effectively operates a bit like a nanny - we're happy for Flavia to continue working entirely from our home (in the Hyde Farm estate, on the northern edge of Tooting Common), or to work between two homes.

More details about our experience with Flavia:

We have total confidence and trust in Flavia - she has looked after my daughter since she was a baby and immediately formed a strong bond with her. She offers very reliable and flexible childcare - and has accommodated our various extras and changes which has been great.

Flavia is OFSTED-registered and has 32 years' experience in childcare. We've seen her develop our daughter from a baby, with lots of cuddles and affection and individual attention along the way, and it was a huge help and comfort to me to see them bond so quickly and see how comfortable my daughter is with her.

She spends lots of time playing, reading, doing puzzles, teaching numbers and counting, singing and dancing, and role-play. She has extensive local knowledge and contacts which she uses to provide a variety of activities, including play dates with other childminders, local playgroups, visiting Balham Library, trips to playgrounds and Tooting and Clapham Commons, and outings to the Dean City Farm and Battersea Park (via bus). She's a firm believer in home-cooked food and prepares freshly-cooked breakfast, lunch and tea.

I'm very happy to have a further chat about all this, so please do give me a ring on 07890 995 724 or drop me an email in the first instance to arrange something - sarahchaytor@gmail.com.
