My Requirements

We are looking for a reliable, gentle and energetic caregiver to join our home and help us look after our daughters for three full days a week (9.30-5.30pm) starting as soon possible. Ideally, we'd prefer care Tuesdays-Thursdays. Duties would include collecting our eldest from school (very close by) at 3:30 and caring for both children until the end of the day.

We are looking for a nanny with excellent spoken English, an interest in child development and willingness to be child-led.

One of our primary reasons for choosing a nanny rather than a childminder is to reduce our separation from our children. We therefore work from home and continue to interact with our children during the day as far as our work allows for this. Our nanny needs to feel confident and comfortable with parents being around.

It's important for us that we have time to focus on the children at the end of our working days and aren't just doing the day's housework. Therefore we are looking for someone who is happy to pitch in around the home (e.g. empty the dishwasher, put on/hang out a load of laundry, food preparation for the evening meal, help clear up from the family's breakfast if they arrive to find total carnage and panic!)

We would prefer a nanny with a heightened awareness of the role of gender in society and who is predisposed to challenge gender norms (there's no reason Old McDonald should be male given most of the world's farmers are female...)

If you are interested and/or have any questions, please do message us with a link to your profile, full CV and if you have them to hand, references (contact details of former employers rather than pre-written statements preferred).

No previous nannying experience is necessary.

Immediate start date.
