Hello! We are looking for a friendly nanny-assistant to help care for our two lovely boys (ages 3 and.
5) And support our busy household four days per week, with further hours by arrangement. This is a live-out position available immediately and convenient to Southfields Tube.

About us: our 5 year old is at school and the 3 year old at daycare. Of course we are biased but both boys are well-behaved and great company. Both parents are working professionals with one travelling frequently. The mother works four days a week and spends Mondays with the children.

Some degree of flexibility will be required regarding hours but a typical week would be:

Term time: 1200-1900 Tues-Fri
School holidays: 0745-0945 and 1400-1900 Tues-Fri.

We don’t normally need you at weekends but may do so occasionally by mutual arrangement. Similarly, occasional babysitting by arrangement, though we don’t get out that much.

School and daycare are extremely local to our home so very convenient for pick-up / drop-offs.

During term-time the key childcare duties are:

Pick-up from school and daycare Park visits / playdates / playing / activities Supervising reading Preparing and feeding evening meal Bathing and when needed putting them to bed. During school holidays the elder one will need a mixture of drop-off / pick-up at holiday clubs and potentially a week here and there of full-time care. (In the latter case possibly for both of them - they are pretty good at entertaining each other so this can work out well.)

Further assistant/housekeeping duties will include:

Generally helping run an organized/tidy household Laundry / ironing / tidying Some errands and straightforward household administrative tasks - booking things, picking up things, etc.

Essential requirements:

A happy, friendly, positive disposition Reliable, trustworthy and flexible Fluent English Able to provide checkable references Non-smoker 2 years minimum experience providing childcare to similar age groups CBS check Paediatric first aid qualified Live within reasonable distance of Southfields.

Driving is not essential but may be helpful now and again.
