Lovely garden studio in return for childcare

Friendly, considerate family with children 6 and 3 offer accommodation in stylish self contained garden studio. Available from the 1st of July but start date can be flexible for the right person.

We are looking for a tenant who is able to offer regular weekly childcare in return for very reduced rent.

You will need to be free to drop off and pick up our children from school three set days per week (8-9am and 3pm-6pm, a total of 12 hours per week) for significantly reduced rent (£60/month). There would be the option to work additional paid hours in the school holidays if you have the flexibility to offer this.

The eco studio is architect designed, newly built, well insulated to be cool in summer and warm in winter with under floor heating. It has fitted wardrobe, good kitchen storage, and lift up small double bed with storage inside. The kitchen has hob, air fryer oven, fridge, air fryer, microwave and a washer/dryer.

Access is through the family house. House and studio share a pleasant garden and it is a safe, family neighbourhood. We are conveniently located on a quiet street a 5minute walk from Kensal Rose station with interesting shops and eateries and a short walk to the leafy Queens Park. The canal, Portobello road and Notting Hill area are all just a 15 min walk.

This would suit a single female, definitely a non smoker, with some childcare experience. Unfortunately we cannot consider couples. In view of the proximity to the house and family neighbourhood we are looking for someone who is a bit of a 'homebody' and doesn't tend to have late nights out. Ideally you would be looking for a tenancy of at least 12 months.

Please write telling us all about yourself, (education, hobbies, interests, cooking, lifestyle) and your experience with children. Please let us know clearly when you would expect to be able to move and how you will be able to make the childcare hours work around your current commitments.

Due to the high number of responses we will not be able to respond to everyone. You are more likely to receive a reply if you write to us with the information mentioned above. Many thanks!
