My Requirements

PART TIME LIVE OUT NANNY FOR FAMILY IN BROCKLEY, SE4
- January 2025 start -
__________

Hello! We are a fun-loving and busy family of two girls (Eliza aged 6 and Alice, turning 3 in October) and two working parents (Annie and Rich).

We are looking for a flexible, calm and warm nanny to join our happy household and provide part time after school childcare during term time. We are also looking for additional childcare support in the school holidays if you are available. We are happy to pay an averaged monthly salary to give a consistent income across the year if you prefer this.

Our family has employed three nannies previously (each for several years at a time before they left to pursue other interests) and can provide references to confirm we are a highly supportive and flexible employer.

We are looking for someone who has a minimum of three years successful and recent experience with children of similar ages and excellent contactable references

______

Responsibilities are explained in more detail below but the most important aim is to build nurturing and supportive relationships with the girls - to become a trusted adult in their lives. We are looking for someone who is self aware and who can support the girls in developing emotional resilience. I follow an attachment parenting / conscious parenting approach and while this definitely includes setting firm boundaries (it does not mean permissive parenting!), it does mean being fully respectful of the girls own personal autonomy and range of emotions. We are looking for someone who shares the same views and approaches caring for children in a similar way.


HOURS:

Our minimum requirement is 4 x afternoons (3.30pm to 6 or 7pm)
If you wanted more hours, we would also be interested in:
1 x full day with Alice (7.30am start)
Up to 4 extra mornings (7:30 - 9am) in addition to the afternoon hours

During school holidays, we would be interested in full days of care - roughly for 3 days p/week.
We could plan these in advance (e.g. "an additional 5 days over the Christmas holiday") or we could come up with a total number of holiday days childcare to be provided over a 12 month period, and then average the salary for these over the whole period.

Basically, our priority is finding the right person for our family! And we are happy to flex our other childcare arrangements to make it work for you :)



RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE:

1. Local nursery drop offs and pick ups for Alice - nursery is a 20 minute walk away.
2. Getting Eliza ready for school pick up (we have a lift-sharing arrangement with two other families)
3. TBC perhaps doing one school pick up per week (either by public transport or by car if you have your own / are willing to drive ours)
4. After school care including making a healthy dinner, sometimes taking to local classes and supervising homework and reading.


BENEFITS INCLUDE:

- Paid time off during UK school holidays (statutory minimum guaranteed and highly likely to be greater than this as we will be taking additional holiday as a family)
- Zero obligation but if interested, there may be an opportunity to join some family vacations e.g. skiing during the winter season. These would be classed and paid as working days but you would work reduced hours, giving you additional time to explore and enjoy the location.
- Opportunity to work with a highly supportive and engaged family. You will be working closely with me (Annie) who is a project manager and Chief of Staff with extensive experience of people management, leading teams and operating in complex environments. I have a passion for personal development and creating supportive relationships in all areas of life - family, friends, colleagues and the wider community - and love to work in partnership with people who have a similar mindset!
- Chance to make a hugely positive impact on the quality of life for everyone in this busy and thriving family

We are really looking forward to hearing from you! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
