Overview

The family has recently moved to London from the countryside, so the children are all still settling in to city life with each child at different new schools. 

They’re looking for someone organised and who can keep on top of three different schedules along with cross referencing Mum & Dad’s calendars. 

The middle child can struggle a little with homework, but does well when he knuckles under and takes the time to understand the questions. So the family would like someone who can sit down with him and support him with this. It’s not so much tutoring, but helping him break down any questions, figure out what he does know and build on that. He also enjoys a lot of exercise and physical games – he’s adjusting to living in the city and needs opportunities to burn off energy. 

The oldest child is pretty self sufficient and gets himself to and from school, but he may need some prompting to pack his sports kit bags or keep on top of his organisation. 

The youngest has just started school, so it’s early homework with her after school. She is well behaved and engaging, she enjoys games and playdates. 

All three children are bright and engaging, they are all strong characters, but good-natured and kind.

When the children are at school, you’ll be responsible for family admin, cooking evening meals, keeping the children’s uniforms and kit organised, researching clubs and activities, planning fun trips around London, and helping with any holiday planning, etc.

In school holidays, hours will upscale to 9am-7pm Monday-Thursday. They do spend some time in Bedfordshire and would like you to join them (accommodation provided). They do take family holidays (Cornwall, Mallorca, Italy, Greece) and would like you to join, but for max. 1 week.

• Afternoon school run for the younger two children who are on the same school run
• Monitorschool timetables and emails from schools to ensure that each child has what they need to take to school each morning.

• Organise fun afterschool activities and holiday activities. A mixture of games and projects at home, organising clubs and planning interesting and fun outings.
