Our son is currently 5 months old, and we will be needing an experienced nanny when mum returns to work part-time. Our baby loves people and is very energetic and curious about life. We are looking for somebody who has a positive outlook, is sociable and can provide an energetic and stimulating environment for him. We are looking for someone to look after our son on days when mum works, as well as to babysit one night a week.
We live in the London suburb of New Malden (KT3), which is 25 minutes by train to London Waterloo. We’re a 7-minute walk to the station, and near the high street. Wimbledon Village and Kingston are not far (by bus/train) with cute shops, restaurants and café’s.
