About Me

We are looking for a full-time live-in or live-out nanny to join our family and predominantly take care of our youngest - a little boy (aged 27 months). We also have 2 older boys (aged 8 and 6) and a girl (aged 4) in school full time from September. My husband and I take on the majority of their childcare (school runs etc.) - 90% your role will be focused on the youngest only and he will be in nursery 2 mornings a week from September.

We live between Colchester and Ipswich. If you want to live in, you will have as a minimum your own entrance, room and bathroom but potentially also a self contained annex. There are multiple playgroups/parks/ playgrounds/ farms etc. around and there is a lovely network of nanny's nearby. We are under an hour by train to London if you would like to spend your free time in the city.

We are looking for a nanny to become part of our family but are very conscious of ensuring we have boundaries in place to protect your free time. We would love our new nanny to be energetic, fun, caring, calm, organised, proactive and firm, but fair.

Hours: The average day would be 07:30 - 18:30 Monday – Friday, very occasional evening babysitting, to be agreed. Travel on an annual ski holiday and possibly other holidays to be agreed.

Start date: flexible - ideally starting in mid-August 2025.

Responsibilities: This is a sole charge nanny position. Further details to be discussed. The role doesn't involve housekeeping other than the children's areas, their clothes and meals etc.

We have a car for use on duty.

Remuneration: Based on experience.

Minimum 3+yrs nanny experience
Excellent checkable references (wont be contacted without consent).
Level 3 qualification, Norland/Chiltern (or equivalent outside UK). Montessori experience welcome
