About Me

We are currently a family with five children.

We are looking for a Trainee or Newly Qualified Nanny to join our family to support us with the care of all the children.

Both parents have been together for over twenty years and married thirteen years. We both grew up in West London, where we still have family and relocated to Norwich, Norfolk in 2013.

Father of the children is a Dentist and mother of the children runs multiple businesse. We are a family of Indian background, keeping up with our cultures and speak English at home.

Eldest son is 8 years old and attends school. He is responsible, caring and kind. He has won many awards at school for his kindness and manners. He wears spectacles which are often used as a toy by his siblings! He loves to read, and you can often find him immersed in his books or at the library. He also enjoys building Lego and the outdoors.

Second child, is also a boy, and is 4 years old and attends school. He was born during the heights of Covid, has the most amazing eyelashes and beautiful smile. He enjoys the train sets, playing hide and seek and currently practising how to use a pen. He also loves tractors and reading books!

We have 3 year old girl who attends nursery full time. She is very independent and likes to choose her clothes each morning. She loves food, being creative and the outdoors. She enjoys cuddles and reading books!

We then have twin girls who are coming up to 1 years old in November. They attend nursery all day on Fridays.

All children have limited use of TV/iPad during term time and only available on weekends with protected time. The children enjoy food, we do not eat red meat but OK with fish and chicken. They are not fussy eaters and will eat what they are given without any tantrums. We encourage them to be outside as much as possible.

We live in a village called Bawburgh, south of Norwich City Centre. It is a five-minute drive to the local Sainsbury’s and Boots and up to fifteen-minute drive to the city centre. The children’s schools are in the city and the commute to from home return is approximately 45 minutes. Our home is situated on just under 6 acres of land including a river and mini forest.

We have a large garden which the children enjoy. There is an opportunity for a ‘green fingered’ nanny to establish a vegetable and fruit patch in the greenhouse should they wish! We live in a five bedroom detached house, and we live practically and modestly, we like our luxuries in food and experiences and that is important to us. The rest we live within our means and want the children to learn the ethics of hard work and gratitude. It is therefore essential that the candidate drives.

We would consider a live-in nanny depending on the candidate.

Ideally we are looking for a candidate who can support us from 7am to 7pm (flexible on timings). The general day would get the three children ready for school, feed them breakfast and then take them to school. After school drop off to return home and look after the twins with whatever they need and preparing dinner for the children. At around 4.16pm the candidate would need to go to collect the children from school, before returning home for food, shower and bed. All children will sleep by 6.30/7pm and we have followed the Gina Ford routine.

There will be duties to prepare school bags, homework, snacks, clothes etc for the children. We may require additional hours for evening and weekend work and would plan this in advance.

It is important for us to have someone to join our family to continue with the routine that we have established with the children and someone who has a kind, calming yet firm nature about them. The way we like to work is being open and honest. It is important we have open and clear communication and someone that is reliable We hope that you will consider us and join our family!
