We are excited to offer an exceptional opportunity for a nurturing and energetic Weekend Nanny working from Friday afternoon to Sunday early evening to join a loving family with three delightful daughters: twin girls aged 4.5 years and a younger sister aged 2.5 years.
This is a really lovely fun warm and happy family. They live in London and at weekends usually go to their beautiful weekend home in the Hampshire countryside.
The family has a fabulous Monday to Friday nanny but find that they also need support from a nanny over the weekends.
This is a mix of Shared care and Sole charge (50/50)
This livein position allows you to immerse yourself in the family s fun weekend routine creating a safe and engaging environment where the children can learn and thrive. You will have the chance to plan fun and enriching activities from outdoor adventures in the beautiful Hampshire countryside to imaginative indoor play.
The family values the importance of play in education and seeks someone who shares this philosophy. If you are passionate about early childhood development and eager to contribute to a nurturing family setting we invite you to apply to this wonderful opportunity.
Not every weekend will be at the Hampshire address above but we aim to get to the countryside as often as makes sense! Occasional travel on holidays might be requested (not a requirement) generally to Sweden America France and Switzerland
The role is "Caring for three girls aged 4.5 4.5 and 2.5 (in January will be closer to 5 5 and 2 and three quarters) including dressing bathing meal prep playing and activities and tidying up occasional children s laundry if required."
We are looking for "Someone positive energetic organised and who is firm but loving. Someone who would take the girls outside no matter the weather have fun activities up their sleeve tidy up as they go and be organised about clothes/packing meals etc. Someone who is nice and easy to be with on weekends as a family and who could ideally also proxy parent if my husband and I go away for a night or two."
