Summary

A warm and welcoming family based in North Dean, Buckinghamshire is looking for a kind, enthusiastic Junior Nanny/Mother’s Help to become an important part of their busy household.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone at the beginning of their childcare career who is keen to gain hands-on experience supporting an experienced parent while helping to care for their children. The family are looking for someone with a positive attitude, plenty of initiative and a genuine love of working with children.

You will be helping Mum and Dad take care of two children – a little girl aged 2½ years and her new baby brother. The little girl currently attends nursery on four mornings each week.

You will be required to work Monday-Friday, 09.00-17.00 (40 hours/week). There may also be some additional ad hoc hours and babysitting, but these hours will be mutually agreed and paid as overtime.

So that Mum and Dad can spend quality time with the children, your role will include:

• Assisting with the day-to-day care of the children.
• Helping with nursery runs if required.
• Planning fun, age-appropriate activities and play.
• Preparing healthy and nutritious meals and snacks for the children.
• Keeping children’s bedrooms, play areas and children’s laundry organised.
• Providing an extra pair of hands around the home to help the household run smoothly between regular cleans (emptying the dishwasher, running the vacuum round if required, running errands, etc).
• Supporting the parents during busy periods while encouraging the children’s development and independence.

The ideal candidate will be:

• Warm, caring and reliable.
• Keen to build a career in childcare.
• Confident engaging with children of different ages.
• Organised, proactive and happy to help wherever needed.
• Able to work as part of a family team.
• A careful and confident driver with a clean licence (duty car available)

Previous childcare experience through babysitting, nursery work, nannying, family support would be advantageous, but the family are equally happy to consider someone with the right attitude and a willingness to learn.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a lovely family who will value and support the right person, making it an ideal stepping stone into a long-term nanny career.

If you are passionate about childcare and would love to become part of a happy family home, please apply below.
