About Me

I am seeking a reliable and flexible nanny to support me with childcare while I am undertaking my placement as a Student Midwife. Due to the nature of my role, my working hours can vary significantly, including early mornings and late evenings.

I am looking for someone who can offer flexibility, as childcare will not be required on a consistent daily basis and will depend on my placement schedule. However, I would strongly prefer to work with the same nanny to provide continuity and stability for my children.

The role would primarily involve assisting with morning school drop-offs to breakfast club and collecting the children from their after-school club, before caring for them at our home until I return. On certain placements, particularly on the Labour or Postnatal ward, my shifts may begin as early as 7:30am. On these days, I would require the nanny to arrive at our home by 7:00am. Breakfast club is available from 7:30am, with flexibility around drop-off times.

In the evenings, the children may remain at after-school club until 6:00pm, again with some flexibility on collection times. When I am working later shifts, I typically finish at 8:00pm and return home at approximately 8:30pm. During this time, I would need the nanny to supervise the children and assist with their evening routine, including preparing simple meals or reheating food that I have prepared in advance.

We are based in Portsmouth; however, my children attend school in Horndean, so the ability to manage this commute is essential.

Additionally, I require the nanny to be Ofsted registered, as I will be paying via CCGPay with the option to top up payments directly via bank transfer. I appreciate that the requirements of this role are somewhat complex, and I am willing to offer a higher rate of pay to reflect the flexibility and commitment needed.

Please do get in touch if you feel this role would be a good fit.
