Nanny-Housekeeper
A welcoming blended family are searching for their very own Mary Poppins– an exceptional Nanny/Housekeeper who can become a valued part of the household and provide practical support during a challenging period. The family already employs a cleaner four days per week so this role is focused more on household support than deep cleaning. A driver is essential. The ideal candidate will be proactive, organised, and confident using their initiative, and naturally notice what needs doing.
The family has six children aged 17, 16, 14-year-old twins, 12, and 3 years old. A Housekeeper who enjoys working with children will be needed as an important aspect of the role will involve support for all the children – particularly during the holidays. The older children are largely independent, but will need lifts to activities, help preparing packed lunches for clubs, and day-to-day support. The role will also involve managing the bedtime routine for the youngest child, when his father is working night shifts.
Responsibilities include driving the children to and from activities, managing laundry, and being organised to ensure the house is well-stocked with groceries. Meal planning will also be needed- ensuring that healthy eating and routines are maintained, and food is cooked. Some of the older children are keen cooks so willingness to support them in the kitchen would be appreciated.
It will be important to generally maintain a tidy, organised home and support the smooth running of the household. Flexibility, discretion, and a positive, can-do attitude are essential. This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced Nanny/Housekeeper seeking a permanent role within an appreciative household. The ideal candidate will need to be dedicated and be able to adapt to the changing needs of the family.
