Proxy Parenting role for two girls in Herefordshire Countryside

A lovely opportunity has arisen for an experienced, warm and dependable nanny to
provide proxy parenting for two wonderful girls for 10 days this coming January, while
their parents are travelling overseas.
The family are seeking someone stable, reliable, patient and highly organised who is
confident taking sole responsibility for the girls and managing their daily lives
throughout their parents’ absence.
The role will involve managing the full morning routine, school drop-offs, responsibility
during school hours, school collections, after-school clubs, evening meals, bedtime
and overnight responsibility in the family home. At weekends, the nanny will take full
responsibility for the girls, creating a calm, happy and engaging environment through
activities and outings.
The girls are wonderfully independent and enjoy baking, gymnastics and dance. One of
the girls has ADHD, which is well managed through consistent routines and established
support strategies. An understanding and appreciation of the importance of routine will
be essential.
A handover with the family will take place on the first day to explain household routines
and arrangements. The family also have two lovely dogs, so someone happy to help
with feeding and walking them would be a bonus.
The nanny will be provided with a double bedroom and ensuite bathroom within the
family home.
