Overview:
A warm and welcoming family in South Derbyshire are seeking an experienced and proactive Nanny Housekeeper to join their household.

Candidate Requirements:
Essential: Proven experience caring for twins and multiple young children.
Prior housekeeping experience, with strong organisational skills.
Able to multitask and work independently with initiative.
Warm, adaptable, and happy to “muck in” wherever needed.
A driver with their own car is highly desirable due to the rural location.
Flexible and open-minded, with a “can-do” attitude.

Additional Information:
Mum will be returning to work shortly after the twins’ arrival, so the right candidate must be able to provide reliable support across both childcare and household duties. This is a long-term position for someone who truly wants to become part of the family’s team.
