We have 2 kids - a 4 (nearly 5) year old daughter who has just started school, and a 3 year old son who has just started nursery. They are both charming and good fun, with the usual dose of tantrums thrown in! Parents work full time nearby, very busy, but virtually no tantrums.
We are looking for someone who is happy, fun, reliable, and trustworthy. You should enjoy being organised and tidy, a healthy cook, be fluent in English and a non-smoker. Previous childcare experience is essential, and being able to handle disciplining, basic homework (learning to read & write) and caring for when sick.
General responsibilities: getting them up & ready for school / dinnertime and bedtime routine; walking younger child to nursery & back (5 mins) and occasional collecting of elder child from school (by bus); preparing healthy meals; nappy changing / toileting and bathing; washing and changing the children’s bedding & towels; keeping bedrooms, kitchen and play areas clean and tidy & looking after toys; arranging playdates and local activities.
Also some simple housekeeping responsibilities like placing weekly shopping order online and putting away when delivered, liaising with cleaners, deliveries, and helping feed our cats.
We have a cleaner twice a week so you will not be expected to do general household cleaning. Nor do you need to launder or iron the kids clothes.
During school holidays hours would increase although you would likely only be looking after the older child as the younger will be in full-time nursery.
We are offering £160 per week plus paid holiday, room and full board. We have a lovely large house with garden. You will have your own double bedroom with TV, fridge, microwave and kettle on the top floor. Also free WI-FI, professional use of phone, and ipad.
We live in a fantastic location on West Hill in Wandsworth, SW18. We are only a few minutes walk from Southside shopping centre, with great shops, cinema, gyms, restaurants etc) and the park. East Putney tube and Wandsworth Town overground give easy access into central London.
Please respond here or PM me - we very much look forward to hearing from you!
