My Requirements

We are looking for a local after school nanny/ babysitter.

Ideally we need Mon-Thurs (3.30 - 6.30pm) but we’re flexible for the right person (Tues and Thurs etc). The school is 5min walk away, our son (4) starts reception and daughter (6) will start year 2 in Sept. Its a play led school so they need picking up and relaxing/ reading/ playing a little after the school day (rather than clubs/ long activities). Kids are alot of fun and messy:-) They love music, arts, crafts or just playing in the garden or local playground. Sometime they have after school clubs or playdates so there may only be 1 to look after. We would not expect you to supervise any other children. Mum and dad are working and occasionally have time to pick up/ spend with kids but its not a given. We also need help with the chores around the house mainly caused by the kids such as laundry, dishwasher, spillages/surfaces, washing up but there is light hoovering and mopping to do I'm thr kitchen and dining room once a week. We spend time everyday doing chores together and try to do it in a fun way so we'd like you also to steer them into helping with this/ being independent and learning to be responsible too (putting their things away or in the rubbish /recycling, laundry, dishwasher, tidying up toys/ spillages :-)). We have a cleaner for 6hrs per week. Mostly papa cooks but one evening we'd like you to cook and get the kids involved -setting the table, choosing food, spinning the salad etc -learning about healthy eating is so vital!

We'd also appreciate two evenings per month / occasional putting the kids to bed i.e. 330 - 830pm or babysitting (I.e.pick up, homework or playground/playdate, tidying , cooking, dinner, bath, bed and relax) if suitable. So in all its c. 11 -15 hrs per week.

We are bi lingual Italian and speak Spanish and German so any languages are a bonus. We welcome all backgrounds and faiths and hope you'd share your culture with us.

Many thanks for considering us. Katie
