A fabulous short-term nanny/housekeeper position has become available with a warm and welcoming family based in Turvey, Bedfordshire.
The family is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic temporary nanny/housekeeper to care for their four children – a little boy aged three, boy and girl twins aged seven and their older brother aged nine. The children attend school and nursery locally each day.
You will be needed from Monday 1 June 2026 – Friday 17 July 2026. The hours of the role will be 07.00-19.00, Monday to Friday. The role could be live-in if required. You will be provided with your own ensuite bedroom. For the live in position, you will be required to babysit twice per week.
You’ll be someone with a positive and caring attitude, who naturally builds rapport with children and supports them emotionally and socially during their time with you.
You will help the children get ready in the morning and carry out the school and nursery run.
While the children are at school, you will have time to keep the family organised. Although the family has a weekly cleaner, you will be responsible for the family laundry along with keeping the areas the children use organised and tidy (kitchen, children’s bedrooms, playroom, etc). Any help to keep the household running smoothly would be appreciated.
You will provide healthy and nutritious meals for the children each day, home cooked as often as possible.
After you have collected the children from school and nursery, you will keep them entertained and happy. The children enjoy being outside playing football as well as indoor activities like cooking and arts and crafts. You will also oversee any homework and spellings.
You should be a confident and careful driver. There will be a fully insured car to use on duty.
