We’re looking for someone who is:

Essential Requirements
- Enhanced DBS check

Please note: This is a genuine housekeeper/nanny role, combining after-school childcare with cooking, laundry, cleaning and housekeeping. If you are looking for a childcare-only or housekeeping-only position, this role won’t be the right fit.

We value initiative, reliability and someone who takes pride in their work. We’re looking for a kind, trustworthy person who will enjoy becoming part of our family and helping a busy household run smoothly.

We offer a welcoming, respectful family environment where your contribution will be genuinely valued. If you’re looking for a long-term role with two lovely, increasingly independent children and enjoy helping a busy household run smoothly, we’d love to hear from you.

Please tell us about your experience, your availability from mid-August, and why you think you’d be a great fit for our family.

We look forward to hearing from you :)
