Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

We are looking for a room for our lovely daughter from September. She is planning to study for A levels at either City and Islington College or Fortismere.

We were formerly long-term residents of Harringay, and she knows the area well, but we now live too far away for her to attend London schools from home.

Izzy will be 17 in September. She's planning to study history, politics and economics or philosophy. She is friendly, nice to have around, an excellent babysitter for younger children. Can cook for herself or join in with a family (though she is vegetarian).

We can pay up to £100 per week (in term-time) for room and a bit of basic board. The room doesn't need to be anything special. Above all, we're looking for a friendly environment for her. Chaos and mess not a problem - she is used to that at home. This might be an ideal opportunity for a family looking to earn a bit of extra cash from a room coming free as an older child moves on to uni? She will usually spend all half terms and holidays back with us so that would free up the room again for its usual occupant.

We don't need you to commit to two whole years.... happy to try for a term (Sept-Dec) and see how things work out for all parties. Once she is established and forming networks it should be easier to find an alternative if we need to.

If you think you can help at all, please get in touch.

Thanks Anka,

Hi Kevin 

I sometimes host for a company called Host International, which matches ESL students to a family. It might be worth contacting them because there's nothing to say the students have to be ESL - and you could do it term by term in Zone 4 or 2 or wherever. There are other companies as well of course. Typically students pay £150 per week for bed, breakfast and dinner.

Thanks Marian, that could work - I'll check them out!

Regards,

Kevin
