FAMILY ASSISTANT / NANNY-HOUSEKEEPER – BATH
Full-Time or Part-Time · Live-In or Live-Out

We are a warm, lively family of five based in Bath: a professional father, a mother returning to work, and three children aged 13, 11 and 9. We are a busy household, but we laugh a lot, we’re close, and we value kindness, humour, and people who genuinely enjoy being part of family life.

We are looking for a mature, proactive, and genuinely child-focused person who takes pride in helping a household run smoothly. This role is not for someone who wants a basic babysitting job or simply “set hours” — it suits someone who enjoys older children, has initiative, and likes contributing to the rhythm of a home.

ABOUT THE ROLE

A blend of childcare and family support, including:

• Before and after-school care (breakfast, school runs, clubs, homework, supper)
• Supporting the children’s routines confidently and positively
• Light housework related to family life (tidying, food prep, children’s laundry, organising)
• Taking initiative to keep things running smoothly
• Minimal daytime childcare during term time
• More daytime support during school holidays
• Occasional overnight help when Mum travels for work
• Optional travel with the family during school holidays (if wanted)
• Dog Walking

Part-time option:
Afternoons, early evenings, and some weekend mornings.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A respectful, supportive and warm-hearted family who value reliability and kindness
• Full-time salary, even though term-time hours are naturally lighter
• Or steady part-time hours if preferred
• Private en suite annexe for live-in candidates
• A long-term role where you will be appreciated and included
• A household that runs with fairness, humour, and clear communication

WHO THIS ROLE SUITS

We would love to hear from you if you are:

• Caring, reliable and genuinely enjoy spending time with children
• Confident supporting older children (9–13)
• Someone who takes initiative rather than waiting to be asked
• Happy to help with the natural “running of a home”
• Organised, warm, and easy to be around
• Looking for a role where you become part of the family team
• Eligible to work in the UK with strong references

This role will not suit someone who dislikes light housekeeping, prefers strict clock-on/clock-off boundaries, or wants minimal involvement in family life.
