My Requirements

We are looking for an experienced nanny to join our family of 5, in Rochester, Kent from September 2025. The position is term-time only and 4 days a week. We have three children and are looking for someone seeking a position for at least a 2-3 year period (ideally to when our youngest starts school). Consistent hours will be required, but for the right candidate there is some flexibility on the precise start/finish times.

Our eldest daughter (P) is at school (Year 1 from September) in Rochester (2 minute walk away from home ) 8.30-3.15. Our youngest son (N) will be 9 months old and at home all of the time. Our middle son (J) will be almost 4. J is a lovely, gentle and content little boy but has a profound developmental delay and is currently non verbal, and would benefit from someone with SEN Experience (Speech and Language, OT, Makaton etc), though this is not essential. He is currently at nursery two days a week, and is in the process of getting a place at a specialist school. The other children have no additional needs.

We are both working and do not work from home, so our home is completely available to the nanny and children. We live close to central Rochester which offers a wide variety of parks, museums, libraries and baby / toddler groups within walking distance. We encourage an active lifestyle and for the children to spend plenty of time outside. No car is required for day to day but we can provide access and insurance on the family car for special trips/activities etc. We have a simple, consistent routine with the children and are looking for someone calm, collected and kind to form an important part of the children's lives during this formative time.
