My Requirements

The role:
- Full-time live-out nanny.
- Starting mid/end June (gradually setting into routines and sole charge of Lexi during the working day).
- About 45 hours per week, e.g. 9am-6pm.
- Occasional babysitting.

Key responsibilities:
- Plan and implement age-appropriate, engaging, and educational activities (e.g., crafts, games, reading, messy play). Organise day outings (e.g., farm or zoo visits, softplay, play dates, music groups).
- Knowledge of child nutrition and ability to prepare healthy meals. Specifically: plan all meals/snacks for Lexi, write a shopping list (we order groceries), and prepare her food. Bonus if you’re interested in cooking family dinner 2-3 evenings per week, and/or prepare lunch on work-from-home days.
- Light household tasks such as Lexi's laundry, sterilising bottles, filling/emptying the dishwasher, tidying up play areas, organising Lexi’s clothes and toys (no heavy cleaning; we have a cleaner).
- Ability to provide regular updates to parents. Collaborate closely with us on Lexi’s development: share observations, suggest activities, discuss milestones, establish/maintain routines, and have regular chats to map out meals and outings.

Our ideal nanny:
- Somebody who is positive, has a patient and caring nature, is well-educated, health-conscious, fluent in English, and who shows initiative in making sure Lexi grows up in a loving environment with a lot of enriching experiences.
- Enjoys co-parenting: values transparent, two-way communication and treats parents as teammates.
- Minimum 3 years’ experience with under-twos; confident with sole charge.
- Holds an enhanced DBS certificate, paediatric first-aid, and can provide two recent references.
- Bonus points for Makaton knowledge, Montessori/EYFS background.

If this sounds like the right fit, we’d love to hear from you!
