8) EXAMPLES OF YOU NEEDING MY AS YOUR TEMPORARY, EMERGENCY/AD HOC COVER BABYSITTER, PET/HOUSE SITTER

Here are instances of what my clients hire me for my services:

A) You already have a nanny or au pair or your parents look after your kids when you’re at work, but they are ill, so you need a last-minute, temp babysitter for a few nights to come to your home to be with your child all day at your home (if baby/toddler), or take your children to school, pick them up from school to come home and be with them until you come home in the evening.

B) You booked a holiday abroad for you your children and your childminder, but your nanny suddenly became unavailable due to a grave situation, or your usual au pair is on a 2-week annual leave and you now suddenly have to travel abroad with your children for something urgent at a short notice, either for a few nights/weeks or for a month or more, leaving you in need of an emergency cover babysitter to travel with you abroad.

Or you feel you could just about manage travelling without a nanny, but you would like a minder/bodyguard to accompany you and your children for protection as you are a vulnerable family due to health conditions/disability or due to 'higher risk' destinations.

C) You usually stay home without a babysitter, but just tomorrow night, or for a few days this/next week, you have to be out for a few hours or the whole day or night (for job interviews, dates, concerts/events, important meetings, family/friends do etc.), so you need a one-off babysitter to be at home with your children.

D) You suddenly have to travel one-off to Scotland for a weekend, or you have to fly out of the UK on business unexpectedly for a week, so you need an emergency au pair (if babies/toddlers) to be home 24 hours a day as an emergency au pair for a few nights to look after your children while you are away, or an emergency nanny (if school kids) staying overnight from each afternoon until breakfast time to leave to school for a few nights with daily visits, staying over at your home during night time.

E) You usually work from home managing childcare yourself, but there are changes occurring in that soon you could have to be out for events/meetings for the whole afternoon once or twice a week, or you could need to travel abroad for a couple of nights a few times a month, so you now need to find a babysitter on an on-going yet occasional, ad-hoc basis.

F) Something else. You can contact me and tell me about your situation needing an emergency babysitter or pet or house sitter, anywhere in the UK or abroad.
