Katen

My Requirements

Theo started at the Pelican School (Cambridge) nursery in September full time finishing at 3.15pm in term time. He loves playing with his friends, enjoys board games and drawing/painting – but also concentrating on letters and numbers, stories and science. He plays and enjoys lots of ball games with his older siblings.

We are looking for someone full time to do minimum of 25 hrs in term time weeks and more in school holidays (up to 40 hrs). In term time, there is flexibility on timings depending on nanny preference but would be required between the hours of 1pm to 7pm (but fine if can only do 3-7pm or 2-6.30pm for example) to bring Theo home from nursery 4-5 days per week Monday - Friday. The journey is just over ten minutes on our electric cargo bike, or a little more in the car, so you would need to be happy cycling, or driving – which is optional but not necessary. We would then need him to have a play, then supper at around 5.30pm and a bath by 6.30pm, ready for bed at 7pm. If doing hours before picking up Theo, then there would be an hour or two of housekeeping - walking the dog and preparing family supper.

Additionally, we would ideally like some availability on Saturdays for a few hours on the occasional weekend and a handful of overnight stays when we need to be away without Theo but this is not necessary and only ad hoc.

We are looking for someone who is caring, enthusiastic and engaging. The person would also need to have had some prior experience of nannying or held a position of responsibility caring for others ie teaching assistant or nursery nurse. References would be required.
