A warm, welcoming, and busy professional family, are seeking a proactive, kind, and patient nanny to care for their delightful little boy, who will be one year old at the start of the role.
The family are looking for a nurturing nanny with a gentle, child-led approach to childcare, who will provide a safe, engaging, and loving environment in which their son can continue to thrive and develop. This is a wonderful opportunity for a nanny looking to become a valued and long-term part of a family’s life.
The nanny will be confident taking sole charge of a one-year-old. They will enjoy planning age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, development and curiosity, as well as being happy to spend lots of time outdoors, taking the child on walks, outings and adventures to explore the world around them.
The role will include a range of nursery duties to support the smooth running of the child’s day. This will include taking care of his laundry, preparing fresh, healthy and balanced meals and snacks, attending to his day-to-day physical care needs, and keeping his bedroom, play areas and belongings clean, tidy and organised.
The ideal candidate will have previous experience caring for infants and be confident in building strong, trusting and nurturing relationships.
A careful and confident driver with a full, clean driving licence is essential.
