My Requirements

We are a fun and outgoing family looking for a reliable, caring person to help look after our two sons (age 6 and 8) and help run our house while our lovely nanny is on holiday Sept 22- Oct 3.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

The main duties would be:
- Childcare: to collect the boys from school (in Reigate), take them to activities, (occasionally) help with homework, bath and get them ready for bed, prep anything they need for school each day. Nanny will mainly have sole charge (parents work from home 2-3 days in home office).
- Housekeeping for kids: food shopping, menu planning and cooking fresh healthy meals for kids, kids laundry and ironing, keeping kitchen and kids areas tidy.
- General housekeeping (as time allows): taking deliveries, light local errands (eg. pop to the Post Office or Boots), tidying and hoovering main communal areas a couple of times a week, (we have a cleaner once a week).
- Positive energy, consistency, punctuality, fluent English, basic cooking skills and driving license are essential!

PLEASE NOTE
- This role includes school run, so our nanny needs access to a car OR ability to get to our house and use our car OR live close by (we live between Dorking and Westcott).
- We will only consider nannies with experience of looking after children of this age group.

HOURS

MINIMUM 2-6pm or 7pm, Mon-Thurs, with flexibility dependent on candidate's availability, (ideally 7.30am -6pm twice a week and 10am - 7.30pm twice a week). Also could include some of the following:
- OPTION for candidate to increase hours to cover additional duties: eg. Fridays, morning drop offs to school, bedtimes 2 evenings per week, cooking for family
- OPTION for candidate to work longer days in school holidays
- OPTION for candidate to live-in during the week: we have a self contained nanny flat with bedroom, ensuite bathroom, private entrance and discreet access to kitchen and utility rooms.

TERMS
We currently pay £14 net per hour, but open to negotiate with the right candidate.
