At the end of the school day,  collect the children from school, assist if needed with homework, prepare and serve them evening meal, and prepare for next school day (getting clothes ready, packed lunches if needed etc)

This would not be a requirement, but flexibility to help with this would be desired.

​

A lovely family requires a Nanny for two boys aged 11yrs and 6 yrs to become part of a busy team. The right candidate will be a confident, energetic, experienced, firm but fair nanny who has lots of common sense with great organisation skills, a good sense of humour and most importantly have lots of patience and love for the two boys. The family already employs a housekeeper, so you would be required to work as a team with her to complete the necessary tasks. 

  • Cooking for the family (when required)  

  • Cleaning/hoovering

  • Taking care of the washing

  • Sorting out the dishwasher

  • Menu planning and shopping

  • Any errands 

​

Tuesday 1 - 7pm

Wednesday 1.30 - 7.30pm

Thursday 12.30 - 7.30pm

Friday 12.30 - 7.30pm

 

During school holidays the hours will be Monday - Friday 8/10am until 6.30/7pm depending on need – it just requires some flexibility 

 

If the nanny needs more hours term time, I am happy to make every day 12.30 -7.30pm

​

The Nanny must be a confident driver (school is 30 mins away) and happy to drive to various clubs etc. The Family  wants someone to take control and do the thinking but also works with mum to ensure a lovely and organised environment for the children.

​

Duties – standard nanny caring role

  • Taking the children to clubs, organising uniforms and equipment 

  • Organising wardrobes, buying clothes/shoes

  • Personal care – making sure J is showered and washed! C still needs help and likes to play in the bath

  • Taking to the dentist 

  • Organising holiday packing/unpacking for the kids

  • Picking up from school, sorting bags, snacks, water – checking homework, supervising homework

​

Dad works from home but has an office in the garden, Mum is a mixture – home and office.

There will be support 2-3 nights a week 4-8 from the previous nanny  to assist when the boys need to go in different directions!

We have a team at Hill Top, Alice the stable manager helps do school drop offs and we also have a gardener Jon who has worked here for 5 years. We would like someone who is a team player

As the boys are of different ages, they both have different interests, therefore the Nanny should be able to adapt to assist the boys.  The one thing they have in common is they are both very active and enjoy being outside, so a love of the outdoors would be a huge advantage.

​

Family have a cottage in Whitby, so the ability to travel there is an advantage.

 

The Nanny is required:

  • to have plenty of experience

  • Hold a current first aid certificate ( or willing to complete a course)

  • Have a DBS on the update service ( or willing to get one done, which I can help with).
