Part-Time, Monday to Thursday, 4 PM – 7 PM / approx. 12 hours per week]
Start Date: (as soon as we find the right nanny)
Pay Rate: £13 - £15 per hour (Depending on experience and qualifications)

Key Responsibilities -Child Entertainment & Play: Keeping our 2 and 4-year-old actively engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities at home (e.g., arts and crafts, floor play, puzzles, or playing in the garden).
Play-Based Learning Support: Gently encouraging learning letters and numbers with our 4-year-old. He currently resists formal learning, so we need someone creative who can weave counting, phonics, and letter recognition into fun, active, hands-on play (e.g., baking, sensory play, toy car games, or building blocks) rather than using worksheets.
Assisting with Routines: Helping transition the kids through the late afternoon—this could include helping serve their afternoon tea/dinner, sitting with them while they eat, or assisting with the early stages of the bath and bedtime routine. Tag-Teaming with Parents: Working alongside a parent to keep the evening running smoothly (e.g., you might look after the toddler while a parent helps the 4-year-old, or vice-versa)
Light Child-Related Tidying: Helping the children tidy up their toys after playtime and wiping down the table after dinner.

Experience: Previous experience working with toddlers and young children (e.g., babysitting, nursery work, or childminding).
A background or interest in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework is a major advantage.
Personality: Warm, energetic, patient, and proactive. Someone who can step into a room and instantly find a way to safely engage two young children.
Safety: Up-to-date Pediatric First Aid certificate is highly preferred.
Background Check: A clean, valid Enhanced DBS check.
Note: No driving licence or school pick-ups are required for this role, as care takes place entirely at our home.
