    Description

    Hello, I am the mum of 2 great kids, age 8 and 10, and we live in Hackney, East London. I juggle life as a solo parent with a busy job in the city and 2 active kids' schedules. I'd love to have some help with the after school run-around for 2-3 days a week, and 2 evenings babysitting.

    You'd have plenty of time during the day and at weekends for your own interests, study or work.

    Accommodation

    You'd have a large private garden room with separate wc/shower on the ground floor of our home (pictured as a living room but sofa has been removed). The kitchen, family living room and bedrooms are on the first and second floors, so you'd have the ground floor to yourself.
    The house is on a peaceful modernist estate in the heart of Hackney. The beautiful green spaces of Victoria Park (0.1 miles) and London Fields (0.5 miles) are short walks away. There are excellent pubs, cafes and shops on Broadway Market, Hackney Road and Mare Street, and the central line (Bethnal Green station) to central London is a 12 minute walk away.
