Kate
Nanny required in West Devon
About Me
We are a family of four plus a Labrador called Lerryn. My husband and I are both doctors, I have begun work as an Emergency Medicine specialist in Torquay while my husband has stepped out of medicine to pursue business interests. Our boys are aged 3 and 1. We have recently moved from London to the Yelverton area to be closer to my family and to enjoy everything Devon has to offer.
My Requirements
We have been extremely fortunate over the past 3 years to have found two lovely nannies/childminder (one in Bath and one in London) who have looked after the boys in addition to our eldest Wilf going to forest school for a couple of days a week since January.
Wilf has a place at a nursery from September (Mon-Weds) but unfortunately this is school hours and term time only. Quin is not old enough to attend until February but we would be keen for him to do so from then as we found that nursery really helped Wilf develop socially.
My mum is keen to do childcare on a Thursday and is looking forward to her days with the boys but would ideally like some support with this - either as an extra pair of hands during the day or cover for days that she has to make other plans as a small business owner.
Therefore we are looking for Monday and Tuesday full time care for Quin until February, wrap around and holiday care for Wilf (Monday and Tuesdays) plus supportive care on Thursdays with the ability to take on sole charge in rare circumstances.
Our ideal candidate would be happy to help with general housekeeping - tidying, washing and cooking for the boys and the wider family when time allows.

We have been lucky enough to have Maria working with us in our home over the last few months and now our little boy has joined her childminder.
She is wonderful. She is so passionate about children and their development. She is so full love and enthusiasm for children’s learning and happiness.
We would recommend her to anyone!
