My Requirements
Hi there!
Thank you for looking at my profile.
My name is Ashley I am father to a wonderful 5 year old girl, Isabella. We live in central St Albans, AL1
Isabella’s mother (Jo) and I are separated, but we are close friends, and live less than a kilometre apart.
My work takes me abroad for long periods, and I am looking for a nanny who can look after Isabella full time, living in my house while I am away, starting at the beginning of April, probably until the end of July.
Isabella’s mother could have her for some days to give you time off, but essentially I am looking for someone who will care for her full time:
- get Isabella up in the morning, get her ready for school, take her to school for 0840 (5 minutes walk)
- pick her up at 3pm
- look after her, help with homework, bath, hair etc, play with her and help her development (including speaking Italian/Spanish/French if possible)
- and then put her to bed, ready for school in the morning
Obviously I would need you to stay in our home for the time when you are responsible for Isabella. You would also be welcome to stay in my house when Isabella is with her mother, (but that would not be required!)
We are very easy going and practice positive parenting
I will be able to tell you in advance the dates I am away of course, and there is room for flexibility on the schedule on our side with Isabella’s Mum
I am looking for someone who will be a full time nanny, but of course with days off.
If this is something that interests you, I would also like for you to have one or two sessions getting to know Isabella, and meeting me and Isabella’s mum.
I look forward to hearing if this a position in which you would be interested, and if so I hope to speak with you soon!
Best wishes,
Ashley, Isabella, (& Jo).

Modestine came to work with us as a temporary, live-in, proxy parenting nanny while I was working abroad.
She agreed to look after my 5 year old daughter at very short notice when the previous one walked out, and we liked her straight away on first meeting.
Modestine lived in our home, taking full responsibility for all aspects of my DD's daily life, both in term time and also for the week of half term.
First of all, DD absolutely adored Modestine. Her manner and nature are simply fantastic. She is totally in tune with a child’s thinking, and the connection that she formed with DD was real and deep from very early. In addition, the way in which she
In terms of communication, again I was more than satisfied. Modestine did way more than I expected or had experienced previously with others
Her interactions with me were open, honest and clear. She facilitated video calls between me and DD whenever possible, and the way she spoke to DD & explained things was fantastic; perfect.
I would love to have Modestine work with us again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. I am also more than willing to take calls or emails from anyone who is considering hiring Modestine and has any questions.
