A fantastic full-time opportunity has become available for an experienced and caring nanny to join a professional and friendly family in Croxley Green, Hertfordshire. Mum is German, so although this is not essential, a German-speaking nanny would be advantageous, as the children are being brought up bilingually.
You will be caring for two happy and active little girls, aged three and one. This will be a sole-charge role, as Mum will be returning to work after her maternity leave. Both parents work full time. Dad works in the office full time, while Mum works from home 1-2 days a week.
The family is healthy and active, enjoying baking and spending time outdoors in the countryside. They are looking for a nanny who will become a valued part of their happy home.
The working hours will be Monday, 08:30–17:00, and Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, 07:30–19:00, and Friday, 8:30-19:00 (53.5 hours/week). Any ad hoc hours and babysitting, will be mutually agreed and paid as overtime.
The family encourages a balanced approach to development, with plenty of indoor activities such as reading stories, singing, puzzles, and imaginative play, as well as time outdoors, including country walks and trips to the park. They are keen for the girls to attend activities and playgroups to make friends, so a nanny who is sociable and proactive in planning outings and activities would be ideal.
As well as general childcare, you will also be responsible for nursery duties including keeping the children’s areas organised and tidy and managing their laundry. You will prepare nutritious and healthy home-cooked meals for the children, involving them whenever possible. You should have a good knowledge of weaning and potty training. You will oversee bathtime, handing over the girls to their parents ready for bedtime.
While a cleaner visits twice a week, a helping hand with small daily tasks, such as emptying the dishwasher and tidying up at the end of the day, as well as help with family laundry (washing/drying/sorting) would be appreciated.
A driver is not essential for the role, as there are plenty of activities available locally. However, if you do drive, you will need to be a confident and careful driver with a clean licence. A duty car can be provided if required.
