We can offer from 20 up to 40 hours a week, starting from end of Feb 2025.

Your duties will be (based on 20 hours/week: 5 hours a day Monday to Thursday):

Our daughter is in prepschool, and finishes between 4-5.30pm depending on the days. The travel time from home to school is just under 30 minutes one way. Your working hours would be:

- Based on 20 hours a week: Monday to Thursday 5 hours a day, your start and finish time can be flexible but will need to be in the afternoon, such as : 12.30 – 5.30pm or 1.30pm – 6.30pm or 2-7pm.

- During holiday period, there will be opportunity to do ten hours a day on days without school camp. (pre-agreed)

- There will be other opportunities for overtime if parents stay late for work.

- There will be house/dog sitting opportunities given the family does a fair amount of overseas travelling.

This role gravitates towards the nature of family help, and there will be some nanny duties during term time, and a little more concentrated during the brief spells of holiday period (when there is no camp and no overseas travelling). Majority of the time you are working on your own therefore, it suits someone who is a self-starter with plenty helpful initiatives. You must be:
- Reliable, trustworthy with good reference.
- No requirement on years of experience in such a role. But you must have the right level of maturity and are respectful.
- Looking for stability and longevity in a role and relationship with the family. (family’s previous helper was with them for 5 years and counting).
- Speak good English, second language a plus.
- Willing to look after us as a family, therefore flexible in your approach with helpful initiatives.
- DBS check.
