A fabulous opportunity for a live-out, sole-charge nanny has become available in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. They are looking for a nurturing, caring and active nanny. The most important aspect for this family is finding someone who fits in with them, becoming a part of their family dynamic while keeping their children happy, stimulated, and safe. They are looking for a long-term commitment.
You will be responsible for the sole care of a little boy aged nearly three years and his brother aged nine months. The hours will be from 09.00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday (45 hours/week).
There could be the opportunity for occasional additional babysitting and weekend work. Any additional hours would be mutually agreed upon and paid as overtime. There could also be the possibility for you to travel on holiday with the family.
This family is professional, extremely friendly, and active in sports and other activities when time allows. They parents regularly work from home in a separate area of the house.
A nanny who is interested in child development is important to the parents. They are keen for their children to learn and develop in a balanced way, with lots of relevant and stimulating indoor activities (games, reading, jigsaws, crafts, imaginary play, etc.), mixed with plenty of outdoor play and walks to the park. Getting outside for fresh air is a high priority for this family, as the children love to play outside.
They are happy for you to take the children to groups, play dates and classes, allowing them to interact with other children, always ensuring their happiness and safety.
While keeping the children happy and content is the top priority, you will also be responsible for their general care, keeping all areas used during the day clean and tidy (kitchen, children’s bedrooms, playroom, etc.), and helping with laundry. There will be very little cooking required for this role, as Mum is a keen cook. Knowledge of potty training is essential. The family employs a weekly cleaner, but any help to keep the home running smoothly would be appreciated (emptying the dishwasher, running the hoover round if needed, etc).
You must be a careful and confident driver with a clean licence and your own fully insured car. Duty mileage will be reimbursed.
If you are a loving, friendly nanny who likes to work hard, while having fun in an informal and relaxed setting, this is a truly wonderful role and would suit someone who is happy to make a long-term commitment.
