My Requirements

We are looking for a warm, caring and fun Nanny, who is happy to provide light housekeeping, and is ideally fairly flexible.

The family is a family of four, with two children aged 3 and 6 years old. Based in central Oxford, the family are looking for part-time help with school/nursery runs and some light housekeeping work, in order to lighten the parents' load and carve out more work time (they both work from home, though the mum often attends a co-working space).

We can be flexible to what works for the employee during the week, and agree a routine that is mutually suitable to both parties. For example the employee may prefer to work 1-2 days a week, doing morning & afternoon school runs and some housework in the day, or work Monday to Friday but just afternoons, or some mornings and some afternoons a week, and so on. Options can be discussed!

The mother also occasionally travels for work, and during these occasions we would like someone with the flexibility to step up the hours. The arrangement for this can also be discussed - such as paying a weekly retainer that is more than their usual weekly hours, in order to then 'accrue' hours to use during the Mother's travel time.

The 6 year old (girl) is at school 5 days a week, and the 3 year old (boy) is at Nursery 5 days a week. The family are looking for school/nursery drop off/pick ups, some brief time doing housework in the morning or afternoon (whenever suits the employee best) and then after school care playing or reading or crafts etc. and sometimes feeding them supper.

In the school holidays the hours would be fairly similar, as they 3 year old stays at nursery, and the 6 year old often attends holiday camps. Any change in hours would be pre-agreed.
