Rainbow3

My Requirements

We are a friendly family based in KT3, looking for a warm, reliable and experienced after-school nanny to join us from January 2027, as our much-loved nanny is leaving to start her own business.

We have three lovely children, but the main focus of the role will be looking after our two boys, who attend Corpus Christi School. Our 10-year-old daughter is fairly independent, walks home from school herself and is generally able to manage her own after-school routine, although she will of course be part of family mealtimes and the general household routine.

The boys are both lively, energetic characters with ADHD. They attend mainstream school and are bright, fun and engaging, although they can be quite loud and boisterous at times! We are looking for someone who enjoys being around children, has a good sense of humour and is confident providing a calm, consistent and supportive environment.

Ideally, we are looking for someone five days a week, for approximately 25 hours per week.

The role would involve:
Collecting the two boys from school or after-school clubs.
Bringing them home safely and keeping them entertained.
Preparing a simple, healthy evening meal for the family.
Helping with homework, reading and school routines where needed.
Supporting with baths and bedtime routines.
Keeping the children's areas tidy and helping with their day-to-day organisation.

The ideal person would be:
Warm, kind and nurturing, with a calm and patient manner.
Experienced in working with primary-school-aged children.
Confident managing two or three children together.
Organised, reliable and practical, with good common sense.
A confident cook who enjoys preparing simple, family-friendly meals.
Comfortable helping with bath and bedtime routines.
Active and enthusiastic about getting involved in the children's interests and activities.
Someone with experience of ADHD or neurodiverse children, or simply an understanding and willingness to learn.

Looking for a long-term position and hoping to become a valued part of our family.

A driving licence and access to a car would be highly desirable, as pick-ups may sometimes involve school and after-school clubs.

We are looking for someone who will become a trusted and consistent part of our family routine, get to know the children individually and build a lovely relationship with them.

If you are interested, please get in touch with a little information about yourself, your childcare experience, availability and references. We would love to hear from you!
