About Me
We are a family of four, with two girls aged 15 and 8.
We have four floofs: two dogs and two cats who come and go as they please (the cats, not the dogs).
Both my husband and I are freelancers in film production, so our schedules can vary greatly; however, I am not working at the moment, in order to support one of our daughters with online school.
My Requirements
Looking for a Kind, Reliable Extra Pair of Hands (Lightwater)
Our wonderful all-round family-helper-extraordinaire is relocating!
We’re now looking for someone kind, calm, and reliable to step into her shoes — helping care for our daughter and pitching in with light household tasks. We’re based in Lightwater, Surrey.
Our youngest daughter is 8. She’s adhd/asd and currently home educated via online school. We’re looking for someone patient, intuitive, and happy to adapt to her rhythm as we are take a low-demand and gentle care approach.
This isn’t a formal nanny role — it’s more of a daytime babysitter/companion/extra set of hands. Most of the time, one of us will be at home, so it’s about providing support, company, and a helping hand rather than sole charge.
Ideally, we need support on Mondays & Tuesdays between 11 - 6 and Fridays from around 8/9–5/6. There may be the possibility of occasional ad hoc hours during the week or evenings but only if that is agreeable.
If this sounds like your kind of role, please message with your availability and rate — we’d love to hear from you.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of things to give an idea of what we may need;
- Meal prep/cook/bake
- Support with home learning and activities
- Light housework
- Tidying up - especially daughter's room - putting clothes/toys away
There is also the possibility of helping out with the below if you want to;
- Pet sitting when we are away
- Extra childcare in school holidays
- Evening babysitting
The boxes ticked below are just a 'guide' for when we may need someone - we can be a bit flexible.

| Before School | no | no | no | no | no | no | no |
