About the role/family: SENNIES is delighted to be supporting a professional family based in Windsor, with both parents balancing demanding careers. Dad is a Director of a construction firm with a busy schedule, and Mum works in Art Research on a hybrid basis, spending part of the week at home and part in London. The household is bilingual, with G11 fluent in both Italian and English alongside her mother, while Dad and B9 speak only English.

The family is currently transitioning into a two-household arrangement, with both parents living separately but remaining in close proximity in Windsor. The children, G11 and B9, will divide their time between the two homes, and maintaining consistency and emotional stability across both settings will be a key aspect of this role. The primary residence is a large, relaxed family home near Windsor Castle, and both homes are supported by a cleaner who manages deep cleaning and laundry of linens. The Sennie will focus solely on the children’s needs, including their laundry, tidying bedrooms, and cleaning up after cooking, with no expectation of deep household cleaning. The family also has a friendly nine-month-old Miniature Schnauzer who is very much part of daily life.

Both children attend private schools in Ascot, with G11 at a large girls’ school and B9 at a smaller boys’ school. They each receive weekly therapy with a specialist child and adolescent psychotherapist and EMDR therapist in Surrey. Therapeutic approaches are embedded into daily home life, and the parents have undertaken training in PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) and PBS (Positive Behaviour Support) to ensure a consistent and attuned parenting approach. The current Lead Sennie is highly experienced and therapeutically trained in PACE and PBS, and the successful candidate will work closely alongside them, benefiting from guidance, collaboration, and a strong team dynamic.
