My Requirements

Hi there,

I am arranging childcare on behalf of a young family with two daughters, who will be 3.5 years and six months old in November.

We are looking for a part-time nanny to look after their baby (their older one is at nursery full time) from November to mid-December, and then possibly again for a few weeks in January before the little one starts nursery.

We would be looking for someone to:

- Work full-time Monday-Wednesday from 8am to 6pm, with some days extending until 7:30pm (see below)
- Primarily look after their baby, who will be 6 months old in November – taking her to the park, to baby classes etc and supporting with weaning
- We would ask that you help maintain the routine they have with her, which by November will involve a 1h morning nap, a midday 2-2.5h nap and fairly set feeding times
- We would like you to cook healthy food, prioritise reading with them, and assist us with instilling good manners
- We do not use screens and do not have a TV
- We would also ask you to do some light household chores (dishwasher, clothes) when the baby sleeps

Regarding our older daughter:
- She is at nursery full-time
- We would like you to collect her from nursery 1-2x a week (exact days TBC week by week, but within Mon-Wed) around 5:30pm
- Give her dinner, bath time and put her to bed by 7-7:30pm

If possible, we would also be interested to know if you would ever be willing to:
- Do evenings of babysitting, to be agreed by mutual convenience
- On occasion stay over for the night, to be on hand if/when one of us is away and support with morning routine - this is not a deal-breaker if not possible (we would not expect you to be on duty past 7:30pm unless mutually agreed)

Their older daughter is a happy, kind girl and their baby has been quite chilled so far. They speak Spanish at home and would appreciate it if you could speak and read to the children in Spanish, but again, not a deal-breaker if not.
