A fantastic new position has arisen in Cambridge CB2 for a 4 or 5 day Nanny/Housekeeper which can be offered on a live in or live out basis from September.
You will be joining a really lovely family who have recently relocated from California. They have two happy children – 4 and 7 -who will be attending full time nursery/school and so the role will be a combination of housekeeping and nannying during the term and then will be predominantly nannying during the school holidays (private).
Your main duties during the term will include laundry, tidying and organising and cooking for the children. Changing the beds and clearing up off the dishes etc and generally keeping check on stock levels and things the children might need. Additionally, you will feel comfortable helping with homework and reading. During the school holidays, you would plan age-appropriate activities and day trips for the children. There is a swimming pool at the home so you would also be happy to go swimming!
The hours are ideally from 11am – 7/730pm though a later stay on one evening a week for babysitting would be ideal. Shorter days can also be offered if preferred though the hours of 4-7pm ideally would be covered.
The family are casual and informal and are very used to having help in the home. They do work from home full time so the nanny must be comfortable with this. They are also dog lovers and own 4 so you must feel happy with this – though no particular dog care is required as part of the role.
If living in, a beautiful separate studio can be offered. It is completely self contained with it’s own entrance which is above one of the garages and away from the family home. There is a kitchen, living area, dining area and double bed. This can be used all year round for personal use.
This is a really lovely role for someone who loves helping a home run smoothly and takes pride in their work but equally loves caring and working with children . Please get in touch today if you think this could be you!
