Fantastic new role! 6-month fixed term Nanny required on a film set and in Reading in Berkshire 853428
This fixed term role is for an actress going back to shoot a renowned TV series in May and she’s looking for a mixture of support. There will be two bases, one at home with the family in Caversham in Reading and the other onset in Shepperton Studios ( near Heathrow on the M4). The nanny will be required to accompany mum to work on set, looking after the baby, so the obvious caring, nappy changes, clothes changes, walking etc. and bringing the baby to mum for feeding will be required. During filming periods, the nanny will solely be looking after the baby. Meals etc. all provided for nanny, and nanny and baby will have a comfy setting to relax; the nanny will be provided for and supported as much as is deemed reasonable at all times. Once they get into a rhythm knowing when baby can spend a little time away, nanny will potentially be able to go off set and get a change of scenery, but this will have to work out in real time as mum will be breast feeding. Once blocks of shooting are done, the role will be at the home and mainly taking care of responsibilities cantering around their older daughter who is 5 years old. The role will be the school pick up and drop off, taking to after school activities, cooking meals for her, general help in the home with the children depending on what they need at the time. Mums likes to be hands on and this will be a shared responsibility so mainly a support role, and a fun tag team between baby and the older child. Caveat that the nanny should be open to looking after both for short spaces of time should mum need a moments rest or need to hop onto meetings, calls etc. There will be days where nanny can leave early too.
This is a six-month fixed term contract. Monday-Friday and the hours are generally 7:30am-5:30pm particularly when at home.
Flexibility is crucial. Someone who is a quick thinking and fiercely on the ball, who uses as much initiative as guidance to steer the ship and being a wonderful, proactive and motivated pair of hands supporting mum.
The main focus is making sure mum gets as much rest as she can, so a shadow of support for mum is really what they’re looking for and someone who loves family joy and adventure, while keeping on top of everyday management, routine for the children and discipline.
They are looking for someone who can show an equal amount of fun, energy, engaging in activities, learning and development for the older child, and nurture, love and care for the baby. Someone with experience in both ages would be ideal and baby experience is crucial. Please get in touch for more details about this fantastic opportunity!
