Three Day, Live Out, Nanny / Housekeeper

A wonderful three day nanny/housekeeper position has become available in Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire. You will be looking after two happy and active children - a boy aged five and a girl aged three. They are looking for a kind and fun nanny, who can become part of their family and support the children through primary school. Although the parents regularly work from home, this is a sole charge position.

The boy attends a local school and the little girl goes to nursery on a Wednesday morning. The family is looking for someone who can help with housekeeping and running of a busy household.

The hours will be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 07.30-19.00 (34.5 hours/week). There could be some ad hoc additional hours in the school holidays, but these would be mutually agreed and paid as overtime.

The parents are keen for their children to learn and develop in a balanced way, to help them to hit their various developmental milestones - with lots of stimulating indoor fun (fun games, reading, jigsaws, arts and crafts, singing songs, imaginary play, etc) mixed with plenty of outside play and walks to the park, trips to the farm in the school holidays, etc. The children both have regular clubs which the nanny would take them to and support them in their learning.

As well as general care of the children, you will cook healthy and nutritious meals each day. The family has a weekly cleaner, but any help to keep the house running smoothly would be appreciated - helping with the children's laundry, keeping their areas tidy and organised, emptying the dishwasher, making sure all rooms are tidy at the end of the day, etc.

You will need to be a careful and confident driver with your own fully insured car and a clean licence. Duty mileage will be paid at the current government rate.

There is also a friendly Westie dog, who very much likes to participate in childcare and would appreciate being fed and taken for a short walk during the day.
