Fixed-Term Nanny Role near Newark, Lincolnshire
A lovely family of 4 based near Newark in Lincolnshire are looking for a full-time nanny to join their household. The Nanny will work 3 days each week; Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, with core hours being 9-4.30, and potential for ad-hoc overtime. The Nanny will have sole charge of the families 1-year-old and 3-year-old. This is a fixed term position to provide cover for the family for the next 3 months (with potential to extend) until their current Nanny returns from some time off.
The family have 2 girls. The youngest is at home full time and has some classes each week that the nanny will take her to. The oldest goes to pre-school 3 days each week; while the parents intend to manage the majority of pre-school runs flexibility to support with these may be needed. On a Wednesday both girls are at home all day so a candidate confident managing the needs of both girls together will be important. A candidate who would enjoy planning developmentally appropriate activities and trips out for the girls would be highly desirable.
The family are outdoorsy, and keeping healthy is important to them so a Nanny who enjoys spending time outdoors in all weathers, (particularly as we come into winter), and who enjoys cooking simple healthy meals for the girls is important. The family have had a nanny before, and are looking for someone kind and supportive, who is happy to muck-in with the girls, and become a valued part of the household.
Nursery duties will be required, and Nanny experience is highly desirable for this role. A driver is required for the role as the family live rurally but will also be needed for work. The family also have a dog, but no care for the dog is expected to be required. Overtime may be requested with notice, and travel with the family may also be requested.
Live-In is not possible for this role, but the family would be willing to provide overnight accommodation on a Monday night for the right person.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a kind and competent Nanny to join a welcoming family!
