A wonderful part-time nanny/housekeeper position has become available with a welcoming family based in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. You will be supporting Mum during the weeks the children are in her care, which is on a 50/50 shared care arrangement.
The primary focus of the role will be caring for a happy, active and engaging little girl aged seven, alongside her three older siblings aged 13, 15 and 16, who are largely independent and require minimal supervision. The family is seeking a warm, fun and proactive nanny/housekeeper who will become a valued part of their family and provide a nurturing, supportive environment for the children.
The position is Monday to Thursday, 07.00–19.00, every other week. Any additional hours required will be agreed in advance and paid as overtime.
The children all attend local schools, which are within easy walking distance of the family home.
The parents are passionate about providing a balanced upbringing, encouraging the children to learn, develop and thrive. They are looking for someone who enjoys planning engaging activities such as reading, arts and crafts, puzzles, Lego, imaginative play and baking, balanced with plenty of fresh air, park visits and outdoor adventures. During the school holidays, you’ll have the opportunity to organise enjoyable outings, such as trips to the farm and other age-appropriate activities.
The children enjoy a variety of after-school clubs and sporting activities, and you will be responsible for taking them to these activities and supporting them with homework and their daily routines.
While the children are at school, your focus will shift to helping the household run smoothly. Responsibilities will include preparing and cooking healthy, nutritious family meals (batch cooking skills would be highly valued), keeping the children’s bedrooms and play areas clean, tidy and organised, managing the family laundry (including towels and bed linen), emptying and loading the dishwasher, ensuring the home is left neat and organised at the end of each day, preparing school bags, packed lunches and sports kits, and running the occasional errand as required.
The family employs a weekly cleaner, so this is very much a housekeeping support role rather than deep cleaning.
The family also has two friendly cats and a fish, so a genuine love of animals is essential.
A careful, confident driver with a full, clean driving licence and their own fully insured car is required. Business mileage will be reimbursed.
This family is open to discussing a nanny taking along their own child if required.
