About Me
Hello! We are Maria and Will, parents to an 8 month old little girl. We are navigating parenthood for the first time while juggling two busy professional careers, and we are looking for some flexible, reliable support so we can make the most of our quality time with our daughter.
We are a multicultural family (Italian and Welsh) who love homemade food, staying active, and creating a calm, enriching environment for our daughter. We try to follow the Montessori philosophy whenever possible, and we’re looking for someone who respects a child’s personality, intellect, and health. For us, this means engaging with her as a peer in play, encouraging natural movement, accompanying rather than directing her activities, offering finely cut solids so she can explore and enjoy food independently, and helping her ease into her nap and bedtime routines. If we’re at home, we’re more than happy to share care responsibilities and appreciate any extra help with preparing her meals or keeping things tidy.
My Requirements
For now (between now and the end of February), we’re looking for ad-hoc help, ideally a couple of half days per week, though we are very open to discussing what works best.
From March onwards, our daughter will be starting nursery in Ashford, and we’ll need help with nursery drop-offs and pick-ups on a couple of days each week—particularly on days when we’re in the office and may need to leave early or get back after nursery closing time.
We’re still figuring out the best routine, so we’re flexible with days and times, but we would really love to work with one consistent person for continuity and to build a trusted relationship.
If you’re looking for recurring weekly part-time work and think you might be a good fit, we’d be delighted to hear from you!
