My Requirements

Part-Time Nanny / Family Assistant (School Wraparound Care)

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable and caring person to help with our children’s school routines on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays during term time.

Morning support (Monday–Wednesday, from approximately 7am)

We’d like someone to arrive at around 7am, just before my husband and I leave for work, and help get the children ready for the day.

On Mondays and Tuesdays, the main responsibility would be helping us get the children ready, perhaps doing some reading with our son, and walking him to Hayes Primary School on George Lane for an 8.35am drop-off. Our daughter attends a childminder in Croydon on these days, and my husband or I would take her there.

On Wednesdays, we’d need help getting both children ready and dropping our son at Hayes Primary at 8.35am, followed by our daughter at St Mary’s Preschool for 9am.

After-school support (Monday and Tuesday, until 6.30pm).

We’d also like help collecting our son from school, either at the end of the school day (3.25pm) or from an after-school activity or club.

This would involve bringing him home, helping with any homework or reading, preparing a snack and generally keeping him happy and occupied until we’re home.

All the drop offs and pick ups are walkable from our house — within 15 minutes.

My husband or I would collect our daughter from her childminder, so the afternoon care would primarily be for our son.

So this would be 13–14 hours per week.

* Monday: 7–9am and 3–6.30pm
* Tuesday: 7–9am and 3–6.30pm
* Wednesday: 7–9.15am

I’ve outlined our full childcare needs for the weeks when my husband is travelling for work. However, there may be some flexibility around particular days or hours when he’s at home. We’d be very happy to discuss arrangements with anyone who feels they could offer most, but perhaps not all, of the support we’ve described. So please do get in touch even if you can’t cover every part of the role!

Above all, we’re hoping to find someone warm, organised and dependable who can build a lovely relationship with our children and become a familiar, trusted part of their weekly routine.
