Looking for a Nanny to entertain and stimulate children over summer
About Me
We are a friendly, easy-going family with three children, two girls (10 and 9) and a boy, aged 7. They have a long summer holidays coming up and are keen for a fun nanny to take them out on day trips and play with them in their own home and garden.
My Requirements
We are looking for a nanny to work for us a couple of days a week over the summer break from school (20th July until 4th Sep). My husband works either at home or in London, and I run an Aesthetics business from home. So, although we are often around, it's difficult to provide stimulating entertainment and keep the children from watching TV and using their iPads all the time! They would prefer a Nanny who can come to their house rather than attend holiday clubs.
We ideally need help Fridays 8-4.30pm (some flexibility on hours) and one other day a week, perhaps on Wednesdays 9-3.30pm, open to discussion on this other day and hours.
We have three children: Ella 10, Annabel 9 and Archie 7. Ella loves to be creative, she likes to bake, draw and is very into fashion and make up. Annabel and Archie still have fantastic imaginative play and often play together. They all love to be outdoors and have lots of fun in our garden. Archie loves cars, dinosaurs, lego and junk modelling. Annabel loves colouring, creating videos, dancing and gymnastics.
We live in the countryside at the foot of the Quantocks hills, just outside of Taunton. It’s a beautiful spot, a wonderful place to spend the summer! Due to where we live and our desire for the Nanny to be able to take them out on trips it is essential that you can drive and have a car.
If our job sounds of interest to you please do get in touch.
For your information we have two pet cats and a large but friendly dog. Po

I had arranged a time and day for interview with this Nanny and she didn’t bother to show up! Total waste of time. I text in the morning to check all was still ok for our planned interview in the afternoon and had no response. No communication or reason why she didn’t show. Very rude!
I arranged an interview with this nanny but she never showed up! She made no effort to contact me to tell me she wasn't going to come and just wasted my time. I made numerous attempts to contact her with no success and I haven't heard from her since!
I arranged to interview this nanny. Date and time were agreed but she never showed up! And made no attempt to contact me to mention she wasn't going to come or why at any point. Never heard from her again!
