A wonderful returning family is seeking a full-time Nanny Housekeeper to join them. The role involves working Monday to Wednesday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm, and Thursday and Friday from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Your day will begin by helping the children, aged 3.5 and 2 years, with breakfast and assisting with the nursery drop-off, which will be shared with mum. In the afternoons, from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, you will support the afterschool routine, including snacks, playtime, bath time, and dinnertime. When the children are not at nursery, your responsibilities will include taking them to activities and toddler groups, preparing a simple family dinner, and assisting with general household tasks.
The family is expecting a baby in October 2024, so prior experience with newborns is essential. For the first few months after the baby arrives, mum will be the primary carer for the newborn, and your main focus will be caring for the 3.5-year-old and 2-year-old, as well as helping to keep the household running smoothly. During the children’s nap times, you will be expected to carry out light housekeeping duties such as ironing, tidying, and maintaining an organised home.
The ideal candidate will be comfortable with a mix of childcare and household tasks, able to show initiative, and have a “muck in” attitude, happy to assist with the day-to-day running of a busy family home. Experience caring for multiple children, including babies, along with strong housekeeping skills and a clean driving licence, is essential. During school holidays, you will occasionally be responsible for all three children, but mum will also use this time to spend one-on-one with each child. The children enjoy local outings and activities, keeping them engaged and active.
The position offers flexibility with either live-in or live-out accommodation. If you opt for live-in, a separate annexe in the village will be provided, ensuring your own private space. Alternatively, you may choose to stay a few nights per week if commuting from further away.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a warm and welcoming family. If you are an organised, caring, and experienced Nanny Housekeeper, please contact Harmony at Home with your CV to apply.
