We are a friendly easy going family. We live in a beautiful home in central South West London, large parks are on your doorstep and shops as well as public transport are at the end of our street. We are a working couple with two lovely, happy children (3 years old and 2 years old). Our children are in a good routine, both go to a child Minder all day Mon - Fri (7:30-18:00) but we need someone to help look after the children at other times. They are both very happy and fun children.
We're looking for a flexible, experienced and reliable live in au pair / mother's help / nanny to join our family starting immediately or August at the latest, and stay for at least 12 months.
For the right person, this is a fantastic opportunity with a great family, beautiful house, gorgeous room and lots of free time. Whether you’re someone who loves working with children or perhaps you’re studying, this is a great long-term chance. You would have plenty of time to do your own studies/free time
We are looking for someone who has experience with children. We are looking for someone to help with the children, take them to nursery and other activities. Someone who engages with the children and is happy to be active with them. Both children enjoy being outside. Someone who is great at making up games, have fun with arts and crafts, doing counting and colours and would enjoy reading books to the children.
