About Me
Experienced Nanny / Housekeeper – 1 Year Maternity Cover (Start July) – Hadley Wood
We are a warm and busy family based in Hadley Wood, looking for an experienced, organised and proactive nanny/housekeeper to join our household on a 1-year maternity cover contract, starting early July, with a two-week handover with our much-loved long-standing nanny.
We have three children aged 11, 9 and 3. The two older children attend school in Potters Bar, and our youngest attends nursery five mornings per week. This is a lovely role for someone who enjoys being part of a family routine and is confident balancing childcare with keeping a household running smoothly.
My Requirements
During school hours, the role will focus primarily on household management and organisation, with childcare responsibilities before and after school. During the holidays, we need club drop off, days out and logistical help!
Typical routine:
• School drop-off for eldest at 8:00am
• Second school drop-off around 8:30am
• Nursery pick-up for our 3-year-old at 12:30pm
• School pick-up for the older children between 4–5pm depending on clubs
Responsibilities include:
• School and nursery drop-offs and pick-ups (schools located in Potters Bar)
• Caring for our 3-year-old in the afternoons
• Planning fun activities, play and outings
• Creating engaging days and outings during school holidays
• Managing the children’s schedules, clubs and activities
• Helping the older children with homework
• Cooking healthy family meals (a love of cooking is important)
• Family laundry
• Keeping children’s rooms, school items and belongings organised
• General tidying and household organisation while the children are at school
• Helping ensure the home runs smoothly day-to-day
Working hours:
• Monday–Thursday
• Parents work in the office 7am–7pm, so we are looking for someone reliable who can provide consistent childcare coverage across the day
• Flexibility during school hours when the children are at school
• Fridays not required, as mum works from home
