We are a lovely, busy family of 4 looking for a nanny housekeeper, 45 hours per week, to start asap.
We have a 3 year old daughter who will be at nursery 3 days and an 8 month old daughter who you would be sole-charge carer for 3 days per week. I will be working 3 days per week and so your hours on the additional days will be mainly dedicated to housekeeping duties.
The job is a mix of nanny and housekeeper and will evolve over time as we are expecting baby no. 3 in the summer. We are looking for a loyal person who can become part of the family and stay with us for the foreseeable future.
The ideal candidate would be trustworthy, reliable and exceptionally organised. Experience in both childcare and housekeeping is essential. You must be a proficient cook.
your duties would include
nursery drop off and pick up (just across the rd)
sole charge for 8 month old 3 days per week
caring for the children, including getting them dressed, bath time and helping with meals
housekeeping duties will include all of childrens' laundry, keeping clothes and toys organised. Ironing for the whole family. Keeping the house tidy and organised on the daily basis. We also have a cleaner so you will not be expected to undertake extensive household cleaning.
