Starting in January 2027, a warm and welcoming family in Cheddington, Buckinghamshire, is looking for a kind, nurturing and experienced live-out nanny to join their family and care for their baby girl, who will be nine months old when the role begins.
The family is looking for a nanny to work three days per week, 07.00-19.00 (36 hours/week). The days of work are to be mutually agreed. In addition, once a month, the family would like an additional weekday from 08.00-18.00, giving Mum and Dad some valuable time to themselves.
The family is seeking a nanny who is:
• Warm, caring and nurturing
• Passionate about early years development
• A confident cook of family friendly meals, with knowledge of the weaning process
• Organised, proactive and able to use their own initiative
• A careful and confident driver with a clean licence and their own fully insured car. Duty mileage will be paid
Duties will include:
• Providing attentive, loving care of the baby
• Planning stimulating, age-appropriate activities and outings
• Encouraging outdoor play and learning through everyday experiences
• Supporting routines and developmental milestones
• Preparing healthy meals for the baby, batch cooking when possible
• Undertaking all nursery duties, including the baby’s laundry, keeping her bedroom and play areas organised, and maintaining any equipment and toys
