My Requirements

My ideal Nanny/mother’s help would be someone who has a bubbly personality, with enough energy to look after Henry, who is a typical outgoing toddler. I am happy for play to be child-led, but it would be great if you also came with some ideas of your own to keep things interesting - Henry loves doing crafts, building things, and spending lots of time outdoors, whether that’s playing in his mud kitchen or sandpit, or generally pottering about doing some ‘gardening’.

Whilst 99%of the role will be spent looking after Henry, due to my health issues I need someone who has a can do attitude, who can use their initiative to see where help is needed. You must be willing to occasionally assist with light household chores where necessary - for example hanging out washing, a quick hoover round or washing up if my health is particularly bad or I’m busy with Henry.

Initially you would be within the home/ with myself and Henry on short trips out, but once a relationship has been built, it would be great for you to start taking Henry out and about locally without me.

We have recently started toilet training Henry, so I need someone willing to support this process.

I am looking for someone to start with 3-3.5 hours, two mornings a week (between 09.00 - 13.00 is ideal) but would possibly look to add hours on as time goes on. I am currently flexible as to which days of the week this would be, but preferably not 2 consecutive days. Henry does occasionally still nap in the afternoon but once this drops completely I could be more flexible if an afternoon is preferred.

I can also offer additional ad hoc hours if desired/if availability allows.

**Also looking into a childminder who has availability for half days as a possibility**
