About Me


******* THIS POSITION IS CURRENTLY OPEN for SEPT 2025 START *******

I am a single mother to Delilah who is 3 years old, 4 in October. I am currently a full-time 3rd year student at university and I am looking for a nanny who can care for my daughter three days a week (unknown what days as of yet/will know more in September) from 3pm (preschool pick up) until 5:15pm. I am typically at university from 9:30 until 4:00pm. The individual’s job role would include collecting my daughter from preschool and feeding her dinner, this would all be provided in the fridge or freezer at our home :)

I do shifts at the hospital on my placement which would require childcare from 6:45am to 8:30pm on 3-4 days a week. If it is term time this will be 6:45am - 8:50am and then 3:00pm to 8:30pm. Or alternatively up until 6pm. If I am on placement in the community it will be normal university theory hour times.

On my placement weeks I typically have 3-4 placement days PER week these are typically 12 hour shifts. So would need cover for 13/14hours ideally.


More days may be needed such as a Friday afternoon so that I can attend the library to complete assignments :)



Delilah is a very outgoing bubbly young lady, however she struggles with her emotions and speech, Delilah has improved with her eating but this is inconsistent so heavily relies on certain snacks to get her daily nutritional intake. delilah is also under the SEND team (no diagnosis currently), so it is preferable that the individual has relevant autistic syndrome disorder knowledge and understanding. The send team and her early years send worker is always on standby so you are welcome to email them with any queries or concerns. You are further welcome to join any meetings if you feel this would beneficial to deliver the best care to Delilah.

If you are interested please message me

Current start date is September 2025 - our current nanny is starting university in September therefore is now unavailable for the coming year.


I do have a dog and some cats, these will be in the house during most shifts unless my dog (Pepe) is at the dog sitters house. He is a miniature golden retriever and is great with my daughter.


Delilah is extended rearfacing and this is to be continued. An Axkid One 2 + is provided for the nanny’s car which is isofix and easily adaptable. This however may need to be borrowed if family members are taking Delilah out during the week, but it is easy to fit in and out and I can guide where possible.

Please only apply for this position if you are thinking of staying for minimum a year. Delilah struggles with change and unfortunately we have had 3 nanny’s in 2 years due to changing career paths, leaving with no notice due to struggling with the shift timings or joining university. So please look carefully and only apply if you are certain this is something you would like to do, Delilah is affected by this change and we want to minimise disruption as much as possible. So if you are even having thoughts of potentially joining a programme, change in career path, unsure on shift hours but want to trial them for a while, or want to go back into education, please do not apply.

This is NOT a summer job or temporary job. We are looking for a permanent position.

The job is very low maintenance and laid back, we would like to welcome someone into our family as we have done with the previous nanny’s - we have built incredible relationships with them and have maintained a relationship with 2 of them who keep in contact which is lovely.

We are moving to Houghton conquest/wixams in July 2025 so will be based here from your start date - Delilah will be kept at her present school in Flitwick - this would require the 10 minute drive to her school each day.

•The individual’s job role would include collecting my daughter from preschool and feeding her dinner, and interacting with her (dinner would all be provided in the fridge or freezer at our home :) )

• OFSTED registered welcome! But if not that’s also okay!

• Parents are also welcome to apply and bring there young children with them, there is plenty of toys, tv has lots of channels and sky cinema and Disney plus so they can watch tv and play, I do have a dog and cats (lots of toys and snacks here).
