Job Title: Nanny Housekeeper
Location: Buckingham
Start Date: Mid October

We are a warm and welcoming family seeking a nanny housekeeper to help care for our two young children — a newborn (due in October) and a 2-year-old toddler — while also supporting with household duties. The role requires flexibility, experience with both infants and toddlers, and a proactive, calm presence to help manage a busy home. Dad travels frequently during the week, so support for Mum, particularly during morning and evening routines, is key. Our toddler attends nursery 4 days a week, and support with local drop-offs and pick-ups may be required from time to time.

The current schedule and duties are expected to suit our family’s needs for up to one year, but may evolve as the children grow. We’re ideally looking for someone local who is interested in becoming a valued part of our family and supporting us for the long term. We have a preference for live-out candidates but are open to live-in for the right person.
