My Requirements
We’re looking for someone kind, proactive, and engaging — ideally someone who enjoys getting out and about, planning activities, and supporting early development.
We would ideally like someone who can:
Provide focused care for Sofia and care for Tiago after school during term time and over the holidays
Plan age-appropriate activities (creative play, reading, simple learning games)

Take them to local classes, parks, and playgroups
Help with school pick-up (the school is a 1 minute walk away at the end of our road)
Prepare simple meals for the children, including dinner
Help with the evening routine (e.g. dinner, playtime, reading)
Light tidying and laundry related to the children
Requirements:
Background in early years (e.g. nursery, EYFS approach)
Experience with toddlers/preschoolers (1–4 years) and a focus on structured activities / development would be a big plus.
A Spanish speaker would be a bonus (Ruben is Spanish and we’re trying to encourage the kids to learn Spanish).
For peace of mind, as part of our process we will be asking for:
Enhanced DBS (ideally on the update service)
Minimum 5 years childcare experience
At least 2 strong recent references
Paediatric first aid
Right to work in the UK
We’ll ask for copies of certificates and ID as part of the process.
