We are a warm and welcoming family with two young children and are excited to be welcoming our third child in February 2027.
Family is at the heart of everything we do, and we value kindness, honesty, communication, respect, and understanding in our home.
We are looking to create a supportive environment where Mum can enjoy quality one-on-one time with each child while having an extra pair of hands to help with the day-to-day demands of a growing family. Our children enjoy books, learning through play, outdoor time, and a consistent routine, and we place importance on encouraging good manners, healthy habits, and positive relationships from an early age.
We also have a friendly 12-year-old dog, George, who is very much part of the family. While he is not expected to be part of the role, we would love someone who is comfortable around dogs.
The primary focus of the role is to provide loving and attentive care for the children while supporting Mum with the day-to-day demands of a growing family. The nanny will work alongside Mum, helping to create a calm and positive environment and allowing for valuable one-on-one time with each child.
