Harmony at Home is delighted to be assisting a warm and welcoming family in their search for a kind, nurturing and engaging nanny to become an important part of their home.
This is a unique opportunity to join a family with two lovely boys, where the primary focus of the role will be supporting the eldest son, who has cerebral palsy and complex physical needs. Whilst experience of working with children with cerebral palsy or additional needs would be an advantage, it is by no means essential. The family are looking for someone with the right attitude, warmth and willingness to learn, as full training will be provided in every aspect of his care, including his daily physiotherapy programme and moving and handling.
Their eldest son is a happy, sociable young man who attends school each day. The nanny will collect him from school before returning home to support him with his physiotherapy exercises. The family home is fully adapted with specialist equipment, including hoists, making his daily routine safe and well supported. He is able to feed himself independently and enjoys relaxed family mealtimes. The family would love to find someone who can help create calm, enjoyable evenings where everyone comes together over dinner before spending time playing games or enjoying activities as a family.
Although the eldest son’s needs are the main focus, this is very much a nanny position rather than a care role. His younger brother has no additional needs, and the family place enormous importance on ensuring he feels just as included and involved in everyday life. They would love to find someone who naturally encourages both boys to spend time together, incorporating the younger brother into activities and, where appropriate, even making physiotherapy sessions fun and inclusive so that they become a shared part of the afternoon rather than something that separates the siblings.
The family are supported overnight by a dedicated team of experienced carers who have cared for their eldest son since he was three years old, allowing the nanny’s role to remain focused on the children’s after-school routine, family time and creating a happy, nurturing environment.
Travel with the family would be a bonus but it is not essential and flexibility for more hours in the school holidays would be appreciated.
This position would suit a compassionate, positive and proactive nanny who enjoys becoming part of family life and is looking for a truly rewarding role. Above all, the family hope to find someone who will embrace both boys equally, helping each of them flourish while bringing warmth, laughter and kindness into their home.
The family are looking to relocate to Watford in 12-18 months, dependent on a house renovation that has not yet started. Ideally they would like someone who will stay with them when they move but are open to someone staying until they relocate.
