I'm assuming she won't have a fist aid certificate, a DBS nor public liability insurance, which is what a nanny would have to look after children day or night. As professionals, they can charge...

Re: Help! Where to find flattering shorts??

I find that Monsoon and M and S have knee length shorts if that's what you are looking for? Everyone has cellulite. The next time you' re at the beach, take a look at everyone going for a swim.

Cleaner who is more like a Housekeeper

I would like to recommend our cleaner of four years. She is currently looking for more hours in the Wandsworth area.

Re: Would this annoy you?
