Job Description
We currently have two children, a boy 3.5 and a girl 5.5 with another girl due mid-June. Our daughter is at school in Kindergarten and our son goes to daycare four days a week. Our children love playing together, going to the park and playground and a variety of activities. The children are happy, sociable, loving and kind.My husband works long hours and I have recently started maternity leave until June 2025. We keep a clean house and like to stick to a consistent routine as we are a busy family and we feel that works best for us. Our current nanny, who is part of our family, is returning to Ireland in June and we would love someone who could step into her shoes.
Your Duties
The role is approx. 20-25 hours a week. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday from 2.30pm-6.30pm and then a full day on Wednesday 8.30-6.30pm. There would be the occasional evening babysitting or Friday afternoon (if you would like). I will be around but know the first few months with a new baby will be extremely busy so will be going to appointments etc. In the afternoons (2.30-6.30) the role would involve picking our daughter up from school at 3pm (you can drive or it is a short walk) and then our son from daycare (a short drive), bringing both children home, assisting with homework for our daughter, playing with the kids, cooking simple dinners, and bath time. Some light tidying is required- we keep a very clean house- such as folding and putting away the children's laundry and tidying the playroom and kitchen. When the baby is born I may collect the kids and you mind the baby but in the first few months I'll predominantly be with the baby. On Wednesdays 8.30-6.30 you would take my daughter to school then spend the day with my son, taking him to playgroup, the park, running simple errands such as going to the supermarket etc. before picking my daughter up at 3pm followed by the regular afternoon schedule.
Our Perfect Caregiver
We are looking for a kind, caring and loving nanny who will be nurturing and fun. Someone who is organised and meticulous with all tasks. We are looking for a nanny with a strong sense of initiative who can hit the ground running and assist with our busy lives. Experience with newborns is a bonus but not essential.
