About Me
About Our Family
We are a super fun family, with a home that is a welcoming social hub, friendly, loving and well organised.
I (mum) am a working full time, solo parent, with a structured shared childcare split with their dad. My 4 kids are triplets aged 9, in year 4 at school, and their younger sibling aged 8 in year 3. There is a 15-month age gap between the children, so it is like a mini club here with lots of silliness, games or dance routines being made up.
We run a busy schedule with all of the children having hobbies and clubs that we juggle around homework. We love animals and have 3 cats. A household that is bustling and brilliant for the right person to immerse themselves in and become a rock of routine and stability for all of us.
The garden has a big trampoline, often the swimming pool is out in the summer. We have a piano, a guitar and a huge dining table for dinners and activities. Mum has plans to invest in tutors for art and music lessons. We live on a quiet street where the kids can play out on there bikes and scooters and a nice family down the road where their kids and sometimes parents are in and out for play time. The library and high street is a 20 minute walk away and we have many parks and fields nearby to enjoy.
My Requirements
About You
You are someone that is calm, patient, kind and fun with a firm but fair approach to setting and sticking to boundaries. Very organised and structured, finding joy in building a routine for kids to thrive in.
With an understanding of and experience with SEN, you’ll be able to navigate and bring a sense of consistency and safety to our home.
It is likely that you value a tidy house and can balance that with creating a feel that the home is lived in.
We (well the kids may need a little more encouragement ?) are all about gut health, nutrional eating, increasing protein, understanding our supplement requirements, and avoiding processed and refined sugar foods where possible. If you share this passion for good fuels for the body and enjoy cooking wholesome dinners and tasty healthy snacks, then you are just what we need.
The Role, Hours, Holiday and Pay.

Salary is circa £35k (pro rata), with 6 weeks holiday pay and pension.
