Hi, I'm Rachel and I live in Symonds Yat near Ross-on-Wye with my husband Mark, 4 year old daughter Ivy and cat Oscar. I am expecting another child at the end of May. Unfortunately I am a frequent chronic migraine sufferer which often makes parenting extremely difficult for me. Also my husband Mark does shift work abroad, he's home for 4 weeks then away for the following 4 weeks. I "coped" with my daughter, but obviously expect the transition from 1 child to 2 to be challenging and would like to have a less stressful experience this time round.
I am looking for both routine help and emergency ad-hoc help.
Starting in September I would like someone to help get my daughter ready for school, take her to school, and then help me out with the baby and some light housework (dishes, laundry). Suggested hours would be 7:45-12:30 Monday-Friday, but later starts and /or less hours would be optional when my husband is home for his 4 week rotation. If 7:45 is impractical then 8:30 starts would be OK.
I am also looking to make contact with a number people who could possibly be available to help at short notice for when I have incapacitating migraines.
