Registered Childminder Job in London
About Me
Dear Childminders and Dear Nannies,
We are a small family of three:
Natalia (mom), Owen (dad) and John (our son)
(+ well trained and behaved cocker-spaniel Henry)
and we are looking for a kind and patient childminder or nanny for our little John as we must return to work in July 2027, when John turns 1-year old.
A little bit about us as a family:
We enjoy spending time outside, especially going to Epping Forest and other nearby parks and forests. We have also travelled a lot in our lifetime before Johnny entered our lives and will continue to do so with him as he grows up.
Natalia (mom) is an active person that loves exercise, reading, and spending time with her family. Natalia used to be an au-pair for many years and in many different countries and her job is in paediatric healthcare.
Owen (dad) is an artist at heart with joy for painting and playing on piano. Owen’s job is in finance sector.
John is currently a tiny 5-month old filled with curiosity and giggles, keen to learn all about the world. He currently loves to grab toys and examine them, as babies like to do.
And of course, our fourth family member is our small dog Henry, who is a friendly cocker-spaniel, filled with curiosity when outside and sleepy when at home. (We do not expect any time or energy spent on caring for the dog Henry if you are wondering. But we thought its important for you to know that we do have a dog in our home)
My Requirements
We are looking for childminder or nanny for our 1-year old boy John from July 2027 for full time (5-days a week) or we can accommodate also part time (3 or 4-days a week depending on your availability). We need care for John usually from 8:30/8:45am until about 5:00/5:30pm.
We are looking for a childminder or a nanny that upholds the following values when caring for little ones:
- patience
(mostly in relation to learning, doing things and exploring the world at their pace, letting them figure it out, allowing them to be in their zone of proximal development)
- promoting curiosity
(noticing what a child is interested in and engaging in it positively, asking questions or providing information about it “oh you have spotted an ant! lets observe how it crawls in the grass” type of thing)
- kindness
(especially the deeper understanding that when children are crying or are upset, they are having a hard time and not deliberately causing you a bad time)
- joy for the time spent with the child
(genuinely wanting to play and “go on an adventure” together)
- practical and educated
(a person who knows that children want to be involved not entertained, that its okay to learn through daily tasks or activities such as cleaning hands and singing a song about it whilst at it, or taking the bus to a museum whilst talking about whats outside the window of the bus)
- professional and honest, trustworthy person
(someone who will inform us if something isn't right, recognising that we are taking care of John together, someone who will keep John safe, someone who will discuss with us if they aren't sure, someone who will have good communication skills to let us know of their changing availability well in advance)
We think this roughly sums it up, but we are definitely looking forward to meeting in person and discussing this together, and getting to know you, giving you opportunity to also get to know Johnny.
Please message us if this sounds like your style. Hope to hear from you!
Natalia and Owen
