About Me

Hi, we are a friendly outdoorsy family based near Headley, Surrey, looking for a warm, reliable and proactive nanny to help care for our two young children (aged 1 and 3).

We’re a busy household with two dogs and an active busy lifestyle, so we’re looking for someone who is happy to get stuck in, enjoys being out and about, and brings a positive energy to the day.

The role:
We are looking for support 3-4 days per week. We would consider somebody who is able to help from 9am-midday then 3.30-6pm as spilt day or nanny share.

The role will be sole charge although our 3 year old will be at nursery part time. Our children have a good daily rhythm, including established nap and bedtime routines, so we are looking for someone who values consistency. It can be a busy household, cleaners, gardeners, deliveries, occasional meetings at home so we are looking for someone able to be proactive and positive when this occurs.

What we’re looking for-

Someone who is:

Confident caring for a baby and toddler at the same time

Proactive and happy to take initiative without needing constant direction

Able to balance fun and play with clear, consistent boundaries

Warm, engaging and genuinely enjoys being around young children

Adaptable and relaxed in a busy family home where other people may be coming and going

Happy around dogs and including them in care

Responsibilities:

Day-to-day care of the children

Planning activities, both at home and outdoors

Following and supporting the children’s routines

Nursery duties

Preparing simple, healthy meals for the children - hours dependent

Nursery pick-ups (driver with own car essential)

Occasional babysitting so we can go out from time to time

It would also be a real bonus to find someone who is happy to help a little more broadly when needed — for example cooking an occasional simple meal for me or lending a hand if I’m having a particularly busy week. This isn’t a housekeeping role, but more about being part of a supportive, team-minded household, again hours dependent.

Requirements:

3+ years’ childcare experience

Paediatric first aid (or willingness to obtain)

Driver with own car essential

We’re looking for someone who wants to become a trusted part of our family and stay with us longer term.

If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.
