About Me
We’re a friendly family living in Redbourn with a fun-loving 10-year-old and a fluffy, affectionate dog. Our child attends school in Harpenden, and both parents work hybrid roles (a mix of home and office days).
We’re looking for a caring, cheerful, and dependable person with a calm, nurturing manner to help make mornings and afternoons run smoothly. The role involves supervising our child before and after doing the school runs, ensuring a relaxed and happy start and end to the day, along with dog walks around our lovely village.
We’d love someone who enjoys both children and dogs, brings positive energy, and is organised, trustworthy, and kind-hearted. We can offer additional hours for some light housekeeping too.
If you’re looking for a role that combines caring, light housekeeping routine, and time outdoors — we’d love to hear from you!
