About Me
• Two kids. One boy who is 7 and a girl who is 5.
• Based in West Hampstead
• Warm and friendly. Family oriented
• Two professional parents with demanding jobs
• Residing in a smoke free house in with a garden. Occasionally look after a dog for someone else once a week – can be discussed if a deal breaker
• our son is a happy boy, a little shy (needs to be encouraged to be braver). He loves board games (particularly monopoly), Lego, den building, reading and cooking. Is an excellent big brother
• our daughter has a strong personality(!) and is a lot of fun, very active. She loves dancing and role play with her soft toys. She is very chatty, sociable and caring.
• TV / iPads not permitted during the week unless part of homework
• Kids have weekly swimming, tennis and piano lessons on weekends during term time and then during the week during holidays
My Requirements
I'm looking for a Full Time Nanny.
Hours:
Maternity leave cover for 9 months from 3rd November
Full time, Monday – Friday
07:30 – 18:00 (except Friday @ 17:30)
Total hours: 51:75
Duties:
• Dropping kids to school and picking them up (20 mins walk)
• Helping with homework
• Playing with them and having fun
• Organising occasional playdates during term time
• Arranging fun activities, days out and playdates during school holidays
• Meal planning and cooking healthy meals
• All kid related admin, e.g world book day outfits, buying new clothes, sourcing birthday presents for parties, helping organise the kid’s birthday parties
• Folding and putting children’s laundry away
• Helping them tidy away toys at the end of the day, keeping the house clean and tidy. Note: we have a cleaner who comes twice a week so light housework only.
• Photo, video and verbal updates on what the kids have done
What we are looking for in a nanny:
• Looking for a nanny that will engage with, grow and develop our children, not just keep them alive. For example, obvious skills like counting and letters, but also softer skills like asking for something in a shop
• The kids having fun and laughing a lot is important to us
• Pro-active, self-starter – someone that will suggest things to do with the kids and then organise it, can see what needs to be done and does it.
• Someone who is organised and can support with all the kid related admin. We have very busy jobs and very little time which we want to spend having fun with our kids.
• Firm but fair with the kids – we want them to be well behaved and independent children with good manners who are considerate of others
