Overview
This is a varied role requiring someone who understands the developmental and educational needs of different age groups. The family is looking for a proactive nanny who can support the children’s early years development, assist with homework and reading, and encourage independence, curiosity and confidence.
The girls have tutors to help with exam prep and specific school work, but you’ll be required to help with homework, reading, and times tables. The eldest is at boarding school, so when he is around, it is mainly being a companion for him.
Your primary responsibility will be the baby. They have a maternity nurse who you will do a handover with, but he is a happy, healthy baby and is in a great routine. You’ll be in charge of sourcing classes and activities, arranging play dates, and generally overseeing his routine & development.
The family travels in all school holidays, but they only need you to join for up to 6 weeks of the trips.
The family has a small dog who is not your responsibility, but they’d be grateful for any walking and care.
