What happened to LikeMinders?

Did likeminders close? I am looking for a nanny for a week whilst mine is away and had hoped to use likeminders as I know they had a good reputation but their website doesn’t seem to be working.

Hi - Still looking.
Just to add that the role would be starting in 2-3 weeks ideally and our current nanny has kindly said she is happy to talk to anyone interested about the role and what we are like to work for as a family.
Do PM me if you are interested.
Thanks Eleanor

Re: Online dating: divorced, mum: should I try it?

Hi. I am in a very similar position to you though maybe a few more years down the line. My ex and I separated nearly four years ago. I was very resistant to any form of internet dating to start with and my first relationship happened to be someone I met in real life but after a few false starts wher...

Re: Divorce Mediation

Hi. Sorry you are going through divorce. It's a difficult time. Going through the same myself. We used Caroline Willbourne. She was not cheap but very efficient so we didn't use many sessions. She really knew her stuff so short circuited a lot of angst and was impressively impartial. If you're inter...

Re: travel to St Paul's Girls from Nappy Valley

Re: Learn to cut children's hair

Thanks Headshrinker - do you have boys/girls or both? my current two are girls so if I can't find a course was thinking the same as you. The baby which is due is a boy so am assuming I won't have to crack cutting boys hair for a year. More nervous about that though as feel I could go more wrong :(

Learn to cut children's hair

Hi - does anyone know of a course to learn to cut children's hair? I have two kids and another due imminently and the £16 a haircut at Trotters is starting to add up - as well as the frustration of them never having appointments at short notice.
