Job details

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.

For the first week (starting 17th November), my hours are 9:30am–5:30pm, so I’ll be leaving home around 8am and back by 6:30–7pm. I’d need someone who can: • Pick Zion up from home at 7:30am and drop him off at school for 8:30am • Pick him up from school at 12:30pm and watch him until I get home at 7pm

From the week starting 24th November, the hours change slightly: • Still 7:30am pickup from home, drop him at school for 8:30am • 2pm school pickup (or be at my house for 2pm once the school bus starts dropping him off) • Care until I return home around 7pm

I’ll be working Monday to Friday for one month.

After that, my permanent shift pattern will be 2pm–10pm, 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 2pm until 11:30pm, with just one Saturday every two weeks.

If you can do any of these arrangements, please let me know. 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

Thank you so much ❤️
