Nanny-Housekeeper

A wonderful four-day live out nanny/housekeeper position has become available in Lillingstone Lovell, Buckinghamshire.

This role could also work as a live in position. There is a separate self-contained annexe if required. The salary would be adjusted for this option.

You will be caring for two happy and active boys, aged eight and six. They are looking for a kind and fun nanny/housekeeper, who can become part of their family and support the children through primary school.

Although the parents occasionally work from home, this is a sole charge position.

The children attend school locally each day. Although the family employ a weekly cleaner, they are looking for someone who can help support the running of a busy household.

The hours will be Monday and Wednesday, 07.30-18.30 and Tuesday and Thursday, 07.30-20.00 (47 hours/week). Any additional hours will be mutually agreed and paid as overtime.

The parents are keen for their children to learn and develop in a balanced way, to help them to hit their various developmental milestones – with lots of stimulating indoor fun (fun games, reading, jigsaws, arts and crafts, Lego, imaginary play, etc) mixed with plenty of outside play and walks to the park, trips to the farm in the school holidays, etc. The children enjoy after school clubs and sports, which the nanny would take them to and support them in their learning.

While the children are at school, you will have time to keep the family organised. Initially there will be some organising of cupboards, wardrobes, etc. You will prepare and cook healthy and nutritious family meals each day, involving the children when possible. Batch cooking would be advantageous.

The family has a weekly cleaner, but any help to keep the house running smoothly would be appreciated – keeping on top of the family laundry (including towels and changing the beds) keeping the children’s areas tidy and organised, emptying the dishwasher, making sure all rooms are tidy at the end of the day, making sure the children have everything they need for the next day (packed lunch, sports kit, etc), running the occasional errand, etc. You will also oversee any homework.

The family also has two friendly dogs who would appreciate a walk each day, so a pet lover is essential.

You will need to be a careful and confident driver with a clean licence. There is fully insured car to use on duty.
