An exciting opportunity has become available for a nanny to help care two girls aged 12 and 9. They are happy and busy children with sports and other after school activities. This professional and relaxed family live in a rural location in a beautiful house in Pertenhall, Bedfordshire. The family enjoying being outside, sports and all kinds of music.
The working hours will be Monday to Thursday, from 15:00 to 20:00 (20 hours/week). There will also be opportunities for additional ad hoc hours for babysitting and potential overnight stays, to be mutually agreed, and paid as overtime.
In the school holidays, you will be able to take the children out to various fun and educational places.
You will need to be a careful and confident driver to help with school runs and after school activities. There is a duty car available for you to use.
Once the children are back from school, you will oversee any homework and ensure they have everything they need for the following day – uniform, sports kits, etc.
Before you collect the children from school, there will be time to help keep them organised – these duties will include the children’s laundry, maintaining tidiness in the kitchen, children’s bedrooms and playroom, and ensuring all rooms used are tidy by the end of the day. Although the family has a weekly cleaner, any additional tasks to keep the home running smoothly would be appreciated, such as emptying the dishwasher, vacuuming when necessary and running errands (picking up groceries, post office, dry cleaners, etc). You will oversee bath and bedtime each day. You will also oversee all school admin, making sure that the children have everything they require.
The ideal candidate will enjoy cooking and provide the children with a cooked meal each day, involving the children in the meal planning each week, if that is something they would enjoy.
This family also includes some chickens!
