I am looking for a maternity cover nanny for a minimum of 6 months January-June. I have 3 children (girl aged 6 and twin boys aged 4), all at school so term time hours are 7-9 in the morning and 3-6.30 in the evening with some flexibility. The twins were premature and still have some lingering health problems, nothing serious but you should have experience in, or be willing to learn how to tube feed. My youngest twin still needs to be fed part of his daily nutrition via a gastrotube - it is very easy to learn. If the timings work out, there will be a week overlap with the existing nanny.
We are a very relaxed, informal family so it is important that you are too. However we are also very busy so it is important that you are organised and can help us get through the week without too much stress. We have a cleaner so 95% of the job is childcare (feeding, getting ready for school, homework, dinner, bath, school run, clubs, washing children's clothes, tidying). We want someone kind and fun - our current nanny is much loved and has been with us in various capacities for 4 years so it is important for the children that we get someone else who will love them.
Lots of experience isn't necessary, someone who is keen with lots of energy is more important. This could be a great opportunity for someone relatively new to nannying. Ideally we would like someone who accepts childcare vouchers but this is not essential.
