About us / the role:
We are an English family based on Clapham common northside, looking for someone to care for our two girls, aged 5 and 20 months. Our 5 year old is lively and loving and generally well behaved. She’s at Belleville, in reception, moving into year 1 in September.
Our toddler is a typical nearly 2 year old – both a joy and a challenge as she learns about the world and pushes at every boundary she meets. She’s a sunny and cheerful little girl who loves exploring, especially outdoors.
Basic hours: 8am to 6 pm but with flexibility in case we can’t get home on time (very rare but sometimes unavoidable), including for occasional babysitting (pre-arranged and extra to standard salary). Salary is competitive according to experience.
About you:
Our priority is someone who loves children and will enjoy caring for our daughters. Beyond this, our ideal candidate will be fun and great at engaging with the girls to help them learn and grow in a safe and secure way. We’re not looking for someone strict but establishing clear boundaries will be important.
We would also look for:
- Childcare experience, of similar ages, with references
Reliable – we have no family or wider support network so really need a reliable nanny
Someone with initiative and lots of energy
Happy to set up play dates and take to clubs and classes etc.
Fluent English
Prepared to tackle the wider nanny duties – keeping the children’s areas tidy, washing and organising their clothes
- Ofsted registered
Non smoker
