Summary
Warm & Experienced Nanny Required – Colchester, Essex
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a friendly and professional family who are seeking a warm, experienced Nanny to care for their two children.
This rewarding role will involve collecting the children from their local school and nursery, and supporting them through their after-school routine — including preparing snacks, engaging in playtime, supporting reading and homework, assisting with mealtimes, and helping with bedtime.
The children enjoy arts and crafts, imaginative play, and spending time outdoors, so a nanny who is enthusiastic, creative, and happy to get involved in these activities would be a wonderful fit.
You will need to be a careful and confident driver, holding a full, clean driving licence, with access to your own fully insured vehicle. Duty mileage will be paid.
This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a supportive and welcoming family, offering a truly fulfilling nanny role.
If you are passionate about childcare and are looking for a rewarding position, we would love to hear from you. Please apply today to avoid missing out on this wonderful opportunity.
