About Me
Hi everyone! We’re a friendly family of four made up of an American-English mum, English dad, and two little goofballs (5 yo boy and 3 yo girl). We live in Hampstead (NW3) with the world’s friendliest, elderly cat.
Last time I was on this site, I met our amazing nanny who has been with us for the last four years. Now that she is leaving us to start her own family, I’m hoping to meet someone new!
My Requirements
We are looking for a warm, organised live out nanny-housekeeper for a longterm role. This job is best suited for someone who wants to work in a nice environment where you feel like a critical part of the team (because you would be!)
Days/Hours: 50 - 52.5 hrs weekly
Start: 8/830am
End: 7pm
During term time, there is some flexibility for you to start later in the morning but we are also happy to stick with set hours — whatever works best for you
Our ideal candidate loves children and can help manage a happy house alongside two working parents. This is a sole charge position. Our kids go to school locally and my husband and I usually handle drop off in the mornings. The kids would be your priority when they’re not in school and during term time the daily schedule would include school pick up (1 or 3pm), walking to after school activities, providing a healthy supper, helping the kids tidy up and then bath time. We’ll take over for bed time.
We are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy with excellent communication skills. Ideally you’re someone who has a team mindset, notices what needs doing and likes to get stuck in. When the kids are at school, you’d be in charge of the house. Depending on the day, that could include a combination of healthy meal planning, groceries, kid activity sourcing, cooking, tidying, loading and unloading the dishwasher, organising, running errands, laundry, light vacuuming and helping things run smoothly. We also have a cleaner 2x a week so deep cleaning is not expected. You and I would work together to come up with a plan for the week and I’d leave you to get to it (unless you have any ideas or questions you want to ask of course).
I work full time from my home office and my husband does same 2x a week so you’ll need to be comfortable with that set up. We are affable and chatty but will mostly stay out of your way beyond the odd tea break. It’s a pretty fluid environment
Someone with a short commute would be preferred. Ability to babysit on occasion would be really appreciated. Proxy parenting may be required a couple of times annually. Driver not required and there isn’t parking easily available
Checkable references. Strong English. DBS check, first aid, etc. Non-smoker. Is ok with previously mentioned very friendly cat and open to the potential addition of a puppy next year (once the kids and I wear my husband down!). We will happily pay for groups, classes or activities for you and the kids. Also anything you need to do your job or keep you happy.
We are looking to start someone mid-late June. Ideally we’ll have a week long trial period before signing a contract to make sure there’s the *click* and we are all happy to progress.
