A wonderful, busy and loving family are seeking an experienced Live-in Nanny to join them on a temporary emergency basis. Both parents work full-time in demanding roles, so they are looking for someone energetic, organised and confident working independently, who can quickly step in and take charge of the children’s weekday routine.
The role will involve school drop-offs and pick-ups, managing the boys’ diaries and activities, ensuring they have everything they need for school and sports, supervising homework and taking care of all usual child-related duties during the day. The nanny will be responsible for ensuring the boys are not only where they need to be, but are happy, engaged and thriving. The boys are 8 and 11 years old.
The boys are both bright, polite and well-mannered. The eldest is inquisitive and energetic, while the youngest has a wonderful sense of humour and loves making up songs and games. They enjoy sport, playdates, crafts, trips to the park and trying new activities, alongside quieter time at home.
The family also have a lovely five-month-old mini doodle puppy who is toilet trained and very well behaved. Mum usually walks her in the morning, but the nanny will occasionally be required to help with walks and feeding when needed.
The nanny will have private accommodation on a separate floor of the home, with an ensuite bedroom and seating area.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced nanny who can step in at short notice, use their initiative and provide calm, consistent and loving care during this temporary period.
