Starting in October 2026, a wonderful three-day opportunity has become available for a warm, attentive, energetic, and fun nanny to join a professional and friendly family in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire. The family is looking for a nanny who can stay long term and will become a valued part of their happy home.
You will be caring for one delightful baby girl, aged one. She also has two older sisters, aged four and six, but they will be at school, so the main focus of childcare will be for the baby. Mum will be returning to work after maternity leave, so this will be a sole charge role. Both Mum and Dad work from home in their separate offices. Mum or Dad like to do the school runs if they are able to, but you will be on hand in case they are busy.
The hours for this position will be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, 08.00-17.00 (27 hours/week). There will be a need for a little flexibility with hours due to the parents’ work commitments; however, any additional hours and mutually agreed babysitting will be paid as overtime.
The family would like you to provide a balanced approach to development, supporting their little girl as she reaches her milestones. This should include a range of indoor activities such as reading stories, singing, puzzles, and imaginative play, as well as plenty of time outdoors – in the garden, walks and trips to the park or library.
In addition to general childcare, you will be responsible for nursery duties. This will include preparing healthy, nutritious home-cooked meals for the children, keeping the children’s areas organised and tidy, and occasionally managing the children’s laundry.
As the family live close to the centre of town, although not essential, if you do drive, you will need to be a confident, careful driver with a clean licence. There will be use of a car on duty if required.
You will hand over the children at dinner time, so Mum and Dad can take over for the bath and bed routine.
