Private bedroom with king-size bed and en-suite bathroom | Bills included | Occasional childcare and light household support
I’m a working solo mum to two lovely young boys, aged 1 and 2 who are in childcare Monday-Thursday, I'm looking for a kind and reliable mother’s help to share our home and provide some occasional support with family life.
I’m offering a private bedroom with a king-size bed and your own en-suite bathroom at a discounted rent of £400 per month, including household bills. The reduced rent is offered in exchange for some agreed, occasional help with childcare and light household tasks.
🛏️ The accommodation
• Your own private bedroom with a king-size bed.
• Private en-suite bathroom.
• Rent of £400 per month, including household bills.
• A discounted rental rate in exchange for agreed family support.
💛 What the arrangement involves
In return for the discounted rent, I’m looking for someone who can occasionally lend a hand with the practicalities of family life. Support would be agreed in advance wherever possible and could include:
• Childcare: Around one nursery or childcare pick-up per week.
• Occasional evenings: Helping with the boys’ bedtime from time to time if I need to work late.
• Cooking: Preparing a simple family meal occasionally.
• Light household tasks: Helping with everyday cleaning, tidying and keeping shared spaces organised.
This is intended to be a flexible, part-time arrangement rather than a full-time nanny position. I’d like to agree clear expectations around the support required so that the arrangement is fair and works well for everyone.
👶 Who I’m looking for
Ideally, you would:
• Have previous childcare experience, particularly with babies and toddlers.
• Be warm, patient, responsible and reliable.
• Be comfortable providing occasional childcare and helping with light household tasks.
• Be happy to provide references and undergo appropriate background checks, including a DBS check where eligible.
• Respect family privacy and enjoy living in a home with two young children.
I’m hoping to find someone who would appreciate affordable accommodation in a comfortable family home and who would enjoy being a little extra support for our family.
📩 Interested?
Please send me a message introducing yourself, including a little about your childcare experience, your current circumstances and what you’re looking for in a live-in arrangement.
I’d be happy to arrange an informal chat to get to know each other and see whether we might be a good fit.
I look forward to hearing from you! 💛
