My Requirements

We are looking for a reliable, gentle and energetic caregiver to join our home and help us look after our daughters for three full days a week (Tuesdays-Thursdays, 9.30-5.30pm) starting before or by June 2025. Duties would include looking after the little one all day, helping manage the house, collecting our eldest from school (2 minutes walk away) at 3:30 and caring for both children until the end of the day.

We are looking for a nanny with excellent spoken English, an interest in child development and willingness to be child-led.

One of our primary reasons for choosing a nanny rather than a childminder is to reduce our separation from our children. We therefore work from home and continue to interact with our children during the day as far as our work allows for this. Our nanny-housekeeper needs to feel confident and comfortable with parents being around.

It's important for us that we have time to focus on the children at the end of our working days and aren't just doing the day's housework. Therefore we are looking for someone who is happy to pitch in around the home (e.g. empty the dishwasher, put on/hang out a load of laundry, food preparation for the evening meal, help clear up from the family's breakfast if they arrive to find total carnage and panic!)

We are looking for someone with a heightened awareness of the role of gender and race in society and who is predisposed to challenge gender norms and inequality in the way they speak, the games they play, and books they read to our children.

If you are interested and/or have any questions, please do message us with a link to your profile, full CV and if you have them to hand, references (contact details of former employers (any sector) rather than pre-written statements preferred).

No previous nannying experience is necessary.
