The family are looking for an experienced and safe pair of hands to help them in the care of their two children aged 3 and 1 year. Both children currently attend nursery 4 days a week however this is likely to decrease to 2 or 3 days once someone has started and got into the routine of the position. Baby experience is essential and someone who is used to managing a busy home is key. Both parents work full time and travel with work so a Nanny with sole charge and proxy parenting experience is a must.
Key responsibilities include childcare, providing fun and stimulating activities, meal planning and cooking, light household management, family laundry, keeping on top of the home being tidy, clean and organised, running errands, grocery shopping and making appointments for the children. They would love to find a Nanny that is proactive in socialising the children, taking to local groups and activities and getting out to the parks. They are looking for someone warm, proactive, and flexible, ideally with experience in Montessori or gentle/respectful parenting. The role may evolve as they settle into the area, so they would love someone who is adaptable and thoughtful in their approach.
The family value their time together and enjoy exploring the local culture, nature, going for walks, travel and food. They like to keep a calm, organised and connected home so would love someone who has a passion for this too. They have recently moved to a modern, 4 bedroom home, with a large garden. They can offer live in as well (Monday-Friday) with own bedroom and bathroom within the family home, with its own entrance to the garden. The role will involve approx. 50 hours per week, with some overnight stays when both parents travel for work.
