This lovely role will be caring for 4 children. 2 are school age (Boy 12, Girl 10) and preschool aged girl (2 years old) and a newborn boy, due in April 2026. It will involve a combination of sole-charge and shared charge, working alongside mum.
The family is looking to hire a nanny for initially 35 hours rising to 52.5 hours (7.30/8am till 6pm) when the baby is first born and then transitioning to 40 hours per week on a long term basis. They will require some flexibility around hours and would love to find a candidate who is open to working on the occasional Saturday in exchange for a day off during the week.They are looking for a nanny who is open to helping with some ad-hoc babysitting, usually 1 x per week and occasional overnight stays to assist with the newborn. The family also likes to travel and would like to hire someone who is happy to accompany them on international and domestic trips if required throughout the year.
Any overtime, including babysitting, overnight stays and travel will be paid at an overtime rate.
G 2-years is an active, social little girl who loves exploring, swimming and spending time with friends.
She currently attends preschool three days per week, from 8:30 am until 12 pm. They intend to keep her enrolled for these three days as she loves her time at pre-school and this will provide some continuity in her routine when her baby brother is born.On the days that she is at preschool, the nanny will be with the baby, supporting Mum in establishing a routine and providing Mum with some respite during the day. On the days that the toddler isn't at preschool, the nanny can organise playdates, take her out to different activities, or engage in activities at home.
The older two children will attend school but transport and support for extra curricular and social excursions may be required.
The family has a brilliant setup at home with a big backyard and swimming pool. The role would suit a candidate who is active, loves being in the water, and is someone who will seek out fun excursions for them to do together during the day. As Mum is at home, she will usually take one of the children whilst the nanny looks after the other.On occasion, she'll want to have both children and will be able to provide the nanny with some downtime to complete child-related duties and a lunch break, each day. The Nanny will need to be confident in having all children in sole-charge if Mum needs to head out to an appointment.
The family has a cleaner but would require the nanny to complete all child-related duties during the week. This will include meal prep for the children and batch cooking for the newborn when she starts being weaned. In addition to child-related duties, they would love some support with the household chores, washing, ironing and general tidy up when the baby is having a longer nap.
The family is looking for previous nanny experience with newborns and toddlers. Ideally, they would hire someone who has worked as a nanny abroad and has experience travelling with a family. They would be interested in speaking to candidates with a background in early-years education and a genuine interest in working with both age groups.
This is a brilliant opportunity to work for a down-to-earth family who is looking for a long-term commitment. The family is looking forward to welcoming a new nanny to their family.
Full driver's licence is required.
