Full Time Live in or out Nanny Housekeeper role in Milford on Sea, SO41
This is a lovely opportunity for a live in or out nanny housekeeper to care for three children aged 4, 6 and 9 years old, as well as the family home. The family have flexibility and are willing to discuss the best hours that can work for everyone. Ideally, during the term time, the nanny housekeeper will work just over 43 hours per week (Mon: 7-8.30am & 2-7pm, Tues: 6.10am-7pm, Wednesday: 7am-8pm, Thurs: 7-8.30am & 3-7pm, Fri: 7-8.30am & 3-7pm). During the school holidays the nanny will work closer to 62 hours per week (Mon: 7-7pm, Tues: 6.10am-7pm, Wednesday: 7am-8pm, Thurs: 7-7pm, Fri: 7-7pm). There will be an overnight proxy parent required every Tuesday night, throughout the year (this will be required whether someone is live in or out). There may be the option to finish a little earlier on a Friday if the nanny would like to, or if just one full day of housekeeping on Tuesdays during term time was desired (rather than two full days), this could be accommodated.
If live-in, the accommodation comprises of a very large Principal Suite, featuring a private en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. Situated at the far end of the house on a separate floor from the children, the bedroom is generously proportioned, with plenty of room for a comfortable sitting area to relax in privacy.
If the nanny lives out, they will ideally be as local as possible to ensure they can commute comfortably (especially with the 6.10am start on the Tuesday).
The children enjoy tennis, cricket, football, rugby, golf, swimming and sailing. They would love to find an energetic, outdoorsy and creative nanny housekeeper who loves caring for the children as well as the family as a whole.
This position will be a mix of childcare and housekeeping duties. During the term time the nanny housekeeper will drop the children off to school in the mornings, and pick them up at the end of the day/take them to clubs, cook dinner, help with homework and get the children ready for bed. They will not be required to work from 8.30am-2/3pm on a Monday, Thursday and Friday during the term time, with the Tuesday and Wednesday being full days for all cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, ironing, cooking/food prep and running errand duties etc. During the school holidays the nanny housekeepers hours will be 5 full days, with a lot more scope for them to plan fun days out, activities and playdates for the children.
The family need someone who is experienced in this kind of role, and really loves the mix of household and childcare duties. They need a driver (a nanny car can be provided, although the odd flex to use the nanny’s car would be very much appreciated). They would love to find someone who wants to join their family long term.
Please apply asap in order to be considered for this lovely role.
