Are you an energetic, fun and kind nanny/housekeeper looking for a new role?
A wonderful opportunity has become available for a three day live out nanny/housekeeper position in Latimer, Buckinghamshire. Although not far from a town by car, the house is in a rural setting.
You will be working with a friendly and professional family of five, taking care of their three children – two girls aged seven and five and their older brother aged nine.
Mum is a freelancer and mostly works from home, so this role would be a mixture of sole charge and shared care. The family are used to having a nanny/housekeeper and finds this works well. They are looking for a kind and happy person who would like to become part of their family.
The ideal days and hours will be Tuesday 07.30-20.00 (Mum in London), Wednesday 10.00-18.00 and Thursday 10.00-18.00 (28.5 hours). However the hours are quite flexible and something like Monday- Thursday, 12.00-18.00 (24 hours) could also work. The salary would be adjusted for this option.
In the school holidays, you will be guaranteed a minimum 28.5 hours a week, but the hours may change a little, to be able to spend more time with the children. Any additional hours required will be mutually agreed and paid and paid as overtime. In the school holidays, the parents are happy for you to take the children on fun and educational age-appropriate trips and meet up with friends to help them to socialise.
The parents are keen for their children to learn and play in a balanced way. They like to be active outdoors, playing in the garden, building dens, etc. They also enjoy indoor activities such as playing games and arts and crafts.
Before the school run in the afternoon, which you will often share with Mum, you will have time to help keep the family organised. As well as general care of the children and making sure they have everything they need for the next school day (uniform prepared, homework complete, etc) the role will include light household duties (family laundry and ironing, ensuring children’s bedrooms and playroom are clean, organised and tidy, keeping the kitchen tidy, running the occasional errand, etc). Although the family has a weekly cleaner, any help to keep the household running smoothly between cleans would be appreciated (emptying the dishwasher, vacuuming when necessary, etc).
You will also be responsible for providing the children with healthy and nutritious meals, homemade as often as possible. It would be appreciated if you would occasionally make a little more, so Mum and Dad can enjoy your cooking too. The children enjoy their food and like to be involved in the planning and preparation of meals when possible.
You should be a careful and confident driver with a clean driving licence. A duty car will be provided.
If you are a kind, organised, energetic and fun person with a genuine love of children, working with a friendly family, this role could be a good fit for you.
