About Me
A busy family in St Helens is seeking a reliable, caring, and enthusiastic Nanny to help look after their six children (ranging from 14 years old down to 18 months). This is a one week on, one week off position with room for flexibility. The role is for 3 days per week, working 12-hour shifts on a rota that starts each Thursday, with Sundays off. You’ll work opposing shifts with another Nanny to ensure six days of continuous cover. Some weekend work will be required, and flexibility in hours is essential.
5 of the 6 children in full time education, this is a solo and a shared care role.
