Nanny-Housekeeper

Focus on the children, with a part-time housekeeper to share the household load

Job Summary:
Join a relaxed, easy-going family as it grows, with a new baby arriving in January. The two young children are chatty, social and active, and thrive on a nanny who is fully engaged in their play and development.

Childcare is the priority, shared with a hands-on parent at home. A part-time housekeeper is joining, so housekeeping is split and stays manageable alongside the children.

The current nanny will lead a full handover and is happy to speak with candidates, giving a clear picture of the routine before day one.

Job Specification
• Share care of two young children, leading on play, outings and daily routines
• Build language and social skills by talking, reading and playing with the children throughout the day

• Manage nursery drop-offs and collections on foot, plus appointments and activities
• Look after the children’s laundry, belongings, bedrooms and play areas
• Keep the family updated on each child’s day, health and wellbeing
• Share general cleaning, laundry and ironing across the home with the part-time housekeeper, coordinating closely
• Manage grocery deliveries, household supplies and light errands, and help prepare the house for guests
• Spot and handle small jobs unprompted, such as cleaning the children’s shoes

Candidate Specification
• Proven nanny or nanny housekeeper experience with toddlers and young children
• Proactive, with the initiative to keep a busy home running without being asked
• Positive, friendly and energetic with active, sociable children
• Clear communicator, comfortable sharing care with a parent and working alongside other staff
• Fluent English
• Newborn experience (preferred)
• Full UK driving licence (preferred - automatic car provided)
