About Me
We are a young family of 5 who have lived in the somerset area for 9+ years. We have two bubbly little girls aged 5 and 4, and a son aged 10 months. The eldest is in school, and the younger two are enrolled in nursery from September.
Both parents are in full time work, and we are looking for a lovely and energetic nanny to join our family and help look after our children with wrap around care, including but not exclusive to drop offs and pick ups from school/nursery, preparing evening meals and helping with bath and bedtime.
We are an active family that love to go on holidays and socialise with our friends in the village, we keep some sheep in our field, and the girls' favourite hobbies are baking, ballet and swimming. We love to visit the Newt, Longleat and Babington house, and all kinds of local festivals and fetes, as well as the local parks and down to the south coast for the beaches.
My Requirements
Live in or live out nanny, based on nanny preference and location.
We are in the fortunate position to be able to offer a position to cover either
1) just the wrap around care hours which are: 7-9am and 3-7pm daily
OR
2) increase those hours up to 42, including 2 full days of 7am - 7pm with the two younger children at home and 3x days of 7-9am and 3-7pm daily
Once a week there may be a requirement for a later finish of 8pm to accommodate parents travelling for work
Flexibility with hours for school holidays, we would be able to consolidate hours to accommodate some days working and some time off, by mutual agreement.
Nanny must drive and have own car, as we live in a rural location.
With two parents who work, the most important thing to us as a family is quality time together. We have had nanny's for the last 3 years, and are looking for someone to join our family to support with:
- Sole care or shared care in mornings or evenings with mum. Dad travels quite a bit, but when he is home he is very hands on with the children
- comfortable to be firm with the children for discipline reasons
- getting the children ready for school/nursery/outings daily; preparing their bags; school runs (drivers licence essential)
- meal planning/food preparation for the children;
- keeping kids rooms and play room organised and tidy;
- washing their bedding and clothes;
- maintaining their wardrobe;
- conducting dinner, bath and bedtime solo when needed
- implementing and supporting a routine for the children
- engaging and playing with the children, with pre planned activities, crafts and games; attending play dates and social events.
- likes to be in the countryside or enjoys village life. We live rurally, but have loads of friends with small children in our village, and other nannys available for play dates!
- Drivers licence essential - ideally own a car, although one can be provided
- Proxy parenting 2x a month overnight, if both parents are travelling for work
- holiday care - We can be flexible with half term and holiday plans to either increase hours or condense hours to the front/end of the week and allow some additional time off for our nanny.
- Family memberships at Babington house, The Newt, Longleat and a number of other local attractions - useful for holiday swimming days, kids club or craft classes, exploring the animals, treasure hunts and train rides for example.
- Holiday travel possible (but not required)
