Thanks for your response but it is [b]local childminder [/b]I am looking for. I can only afford £600 a month. I am just asking to know how much others pay

imnotconfused:


I believe you mean an au pair and not a nanny?

A nanny is the expensive option which would cost over £1k pcm or is it the agency type nanny cum aupair? The ones you pay per week?

Everything depends on your bargaining power I believe,I had one Nigerian nanny from an agency and I regretted it.

I was paying £1500 ,then I was paying holiday bonus,she had special food which we supplied and we also paid for her toiletries etc

She worked 5 days a week 8-6:30 and had weekends off.She did not cook,only job she did was clean her room,kids room and her bathroom,fold their laundry(we ironed), dress the kids make sure they had their meals & bathe them.

She was basically looking after the younger child as we placed the older one in nursery 4 times a week.

She was overtly familiar and kept on reminding me that she was a bank manager in Nigeria years ago,she was a big woman etc,I asked her how that was relevant to this job?

She was also very critical of the way we raised our children and wanted us to call her mama.

She never took the kids to the park or did any extra curricular activities with them, and she was constantly complaining.

If we came home and cooked food late she would complain that she was hungry..we always told her all the food was at her disposal but she preferred to eat what I cooked.

She once mistakenly knocked my daughter down and then blamed her for being in her way.

She scratched my daughter's face and blamed me for not buying hand creme to soften her nails.

She blamed my then 3 year old for farting in her face on purpose but she bent him over to wash his bum and somehow he farted but she said he did it on purpose.

This is a shortened version.I employed this Nigerian nanny who came highly recommended by the agency cos I thought it would aid my children in learning my local language.

We fired her after she tried to accuse my husband and I of something we did not do, something she clearly did but refused to tell the truth.

My children hated her but we were desperate cos of our jobs.I regret every second of it and will never make the mistake of sacrificing the well being of my children again just to make a living.

I have a friend who shipped a relative from Nigeria to nanny for her,the woman called police for them and said they took her documents and enslaved her..this woman is in her 40s.

Some people have good experiences though.

Nowadays I pay £1100 pcm for 4 days in nursery then breakfast and after school club £400pcm.
Extracurriculars cost about £300-400pcm

Once the younger one turns three,nursery fee will come down to about £700.

I'm happier with nursery for now because I have peace of mind,I'm happy to spend the money and have peace.The risk of leaving my most precious possession in the hands of just.anybody is too scary.I no dey do again.

DH and I have had to work round each other. He is more flexible thankfully as I cannot pick and choose my shifts at will.

I also spend loads to bring in grandparents from Nigeria but then again I have peace of mind.

If you have CCTV at home,maybe you can employ an aupair I don't know but you will have to tell.her there are cameras installed.I think they're the ones in the price range you mentioned,I may be wrong.

3 children is a lot but it depends on their ages.If 3 and above,check the 30 free hours entitlement.
If less than 3,you'll need to cough up the cash and work with partner/husband or not work at all till they're older.

Me I prefer to work and spend all my salary on nursery just to preserve my sanity, besides having a leg in the career door is very necessary for every woman.

Good luck.

Sad, but the moral of the story is: If you're a married man, get yourself a real job that pays your bills (DJ no be work) and don't leave your wife to bear most of the responsibilities.

My elders I greet you, your boy needs your experienced counsel.
I'm on a Tier 2 visa, I'm aware I'm allowed to do extra jobs, or so I believe. So an opportunity to earn some extra cash with my spare time has propped up. I can't remember, but I think I've read somewhere that if I have to take up additional jobs then I have to inform my current employer/sponsor, don't remember where I read this.
The issue now is that those that want to connect me with the extra job are advising me not to mention it to my line manager, they say I won't get into any trouble as I'm not doing anything illegal. They say informing my line manager will only make them start looking for faults which they can blame on the fatigue resulting from overworking myself.
What's your take guys? I'm tempted by the extra cash, but not too comfortable with informing my line manager, but I want to be sure I won't get into any trouble if I don't inform my line manager.

Na wa oo and here I am being denied for vanquis CC after doing a soft search both online and via the telephone. Will just settle for building credit history through paying my direct debit jare.

I believe that own should also have a great impact right?

wonlasewonimi:


They asked me how much I make I gave them the real figure cos I wanted it badly. I gave them my bank account details cos they asked for it. They didn't give me immediate decision. After about 5 days, they came back with the refusal.
I am just giving it time, I will reapply. They don't know naija don't take no for an answer.

wonlasewonimi:


Funny thing is Amex won't give me one. I have tried so many times...

fatima04:


I agree @ the bolded, I am not even looking for any financial compensation, haven't been charged for anything but they were not even being considerate and remorseful. And also want them to learn that BRP IS the official record for staying in the country.

If verification was important, I believe they could have registered me then say, we will still need our practise manager to ascertain if this is enough not rejecting me more than 3ce without proffering a solution.

Good Day House.I sincerely need your input.I want to apply for a masters in project management [/b]at middlesbrough.what is the possibility of[b] getting a job [/b]after the two years programme.Kindly enlighten me if it is possible to work part time for 8months to pay up a [b]balance of 7000Gbp tuition fees for the second year.Gurus please your advice is sincerely needed here so I dont make the mistake f my life.Thanks

Yes you get the odd permies with attitude based on the fact that they have an idea of the contractor rates. Seasoned contractors have been naturally designed to overlook those sort of oloshis. They don't have the liver to go contracting but will still be envious.
The thing is I don't need any 360 degrees feedback or one to ones or appraisals from anybody. So, whatever attempt is dead on arrival.

wonlasewonimi:


The beauty of contracting...no need to get involved in that shyte...pay me my cheque and put some respeck on it.

wonlasewonimi:


Yes o. Guys made shitload from RBS but they flooded the market with contractors making it tough to get roles. It's part of the reason PM roles became useless (my opinion sha).

Fatima04's effort is commendable most guys give up easily. I remember when I started, I must have gone for like 100 interviews. I messed up some because I was using the same phone. A recruiter could call whilst I was on the bus and I answered and started misyarning.

So I got the trick to get a burner phone... Any call that I receive through that I know it's for work... And sometimes I let them drop voicemail so I go to quiet area to deal with them. There is always the odd recruiter that would take interest in you and give you the chance you need.

wonlasewonimi:


They are a crazy bunch. They don't waive it for anyone...since they dropped so many people after the failed Williams and Glyn project, I won't touch them with a large barge pole. The fuckeers spent £2bn on a project and decided to cancel it.

fatima04:


Congrats Fatima04!!

Just remember- No religion, No politics (or hardline Conservative politics), No strong smelling food for lunch-either naija or Indian, going for lunch/group event once in a while is not a bad thing

wonlasewonimi:


Yes na serious matter... Based on the sensitivity of the work environment
