Outline of position offered:

About the Family: Mum stay at home but unwell, undergoing chemotherapy, Dad works full-time
Having been diagnosed with breast cancer, I have just started an 18 week course of chemotherapy followed by planned surgery in the new year. Physically some days I am not well enough to leave the house or be of much help but at other points in my treatment I should have more energy. I am looking for someone who can “muck in” to help maintain the smooth running of the household and give me as much opportunity as possible to spend my “well” times with the children rather than managing the household chores. We are a warm and caring family and already have a lovely nanny and cleaner who we are very close to. The ideal candidate would need to be flexible to fit in and use initiative to see the little things that will help to ensure the smooth running of our house during this challenging time.
