Warm, Busy Family Seeking Caring Nanny For School Runs & Light Child-Focused Support

About Me
I live with my husband, our two daughters (8 and 4), and our 7-month-old baby boy. I’ll be returning to work in April 2026, with two days a week commuting to Chessington and two days working from home. We’re hoping to find a caring, nurturing nanny who can support us with before- and after-school care, and ideally help with a little light, child-focused housekeeping when time allows. We’d love someone who can bring calm, kindness, and consistency to our busy family routine.
My Requirements
We’re looking for a reliable, caring nanny to become a long-term part of our family’s routine.
We have three children (8, 4, and a baby), and we’d love to find someone who is kind, calm, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children of different ages.
As a family, we value quality time together, a balanced approach to food (we love healthy meals but we also enjoy treats), and a sensible balance with screens — they’re part of modern life, but so are books, play, and getting outdoors.
Term-Time Hours
Morning school/nursery drop-offs (Herne Infants/Juniors & JoJo’s Nursery):
• Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri – 7:30am to 9:00am
Afternoon school pick-ups (Herne Infants/Juniors):
• Mon & Thurs – 2:45pm to 4:45pm
Nursery pick-up at 1pm + school pick-ups:
• Wed & Fri – 1:00pm to 4:00pm
School Holidays
The same overall weekly hours will be worked, but spread across 2–3 days.
Holiday duties include:
• Nursery drop-off
• Caring for the older two during the day
Occasional full-day care for the baby when a Tuesday falls on the 1st or 2nd working day of the month
Additional Optional Hours
As we settle into a routine, we may add 1–2 hours per week of child-related household help, such as:
• Tidying toys
• Keeping children’s bedrooms organised
• Children’s laundry
• Changing their beds
These extra hours can fit in before pick-ups or after drop-offs.
We’re really hoping to find someone who feels like a natural fit for our family — someone who genuinely enjoys children, values balance and calm, and wants a role where they’ll be appreciated and respected. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you and chat about how we can work well together.

My girls went to Clare after-school for around 7 months, they settled in so well and had so much fun! They were gutted to leave but we relocated 1.5 hours away.
I would highly recommend Clare for after school provisions!

Thank you Harriet. I miss having your lovely girls here but hope you all have settled well in your new home. xx
I first sent my daughter to Clare when she was 7 months old. It was a very difficult thing to do but I couldn't have chosen a better person. She has always felt so settled there and never had any trouble getting her through the door, she absolutely loved her time with Clare and always came home happy. Clare took my daughter out to a variety of places and was always doing activities. She has now started Nursery and been so confident, I am sure her time with Clare has had a major impact on this. I would highly recommend Clare!
