Job title: Temporary Nanny for 12 months

Location: Handforth

Hours: 25 hours

​Status: Position offered, awaiting contract signing.

​

Job spec: A family of three based in Handforth is seeking a knowledgeable, caring, and highly experienced Nanny to care for their 6-month-old baby boy. This is a temporary position for a period of twelve months, with the potential to become a permanent role should both parties wish to continue the arrangement.

The position is entirely baby-focused, with the child’s wellbeing, development, and routine at the heart of the Nanny's responsibilities. The ideal candidate will plan and engage in age-appropriate, stimulating activities such as sensory play, tummy time, music, reading, and daily walks outdoors when weather allows. Creating a calm, nurturing, and positive environment is essential, helping the baby feel secure, loved, and supported as he reaches developmental milestones. The family values early social interaction, so the Nanny should be confident in attending baby classes or local playgroups.

The baby follows a well-established routine which the Nanny will be expected to maintain. Open and consistent communication with the parents is vital, particularly regarding any changes to feeding or sleep patterns. The role includes preparing and serving nutritious meals in line with the stage of weaning, as well as cleaning and sterilising bottles, feeding equipment, and highchair after use. The Nanny will also be responsible for the baby’s laundry, managing his changing bag, keeping essentials stocked, and ensuring all areas used by the baby, such as the nursery, playroom, and feeding spaces, are kept clean, tidy, and well-organised. Toys and teethers should be rotated regularly to keep playtime engaging and developmentally appropriate.
