Lovely nanny required for 5- and 3-year old children

[SarahGooding]

We are looking for an affectionate, responsible, fun-loving, live-in nanny for our two children (nearly 6 and nearly 4!), to start as soon as possible, in Herne Hill.

We are a friendly family of 5 (including our small, lovable dog, Trousers!) and are looking for someone to join our household to look after the two younger members of the family.

Our very much loved current nanny is having to return home, with immediate effect, following sudden illness in the family, but while our need is immediate, it's more important to us that we find the RIGHT nanny - so we are prepared to wait for that person, if notice periods are an issue!

My husband and I both work full-time (we're in the media industry), but are usually around for breakfast and getting the children ready for school is something we all share responsibility for; I do my best to take the children to school each day, but from September they will attend different schools, so the nanny would need to do one of the drop-offs.

We're looking for someone who:

? Speaks excellent English.

? Is aged 20+ years

? Has experience of taking care of children of a similar age to ours and who can supply 2 contactable references

? Has a genuine love and passion for looking after children.

? Is a really pro-active, energetic and sociable person, with a love of activities, from craft and playing musical instruments, to rainy day play and homework supervision.

? Is looking to make a long-term commitment.

? Wants to be an integral part of the family, rather than viewing it as 'just a job'.

? Has a UK/EU Visa/Work Permit

? Is a non-smoker

? Ideally holds a full driving licence (largely because it will make your life easier!)

You will need to be available now for interview in London.

We can offer you:

A large bedroom with double bed, sofa, wireless internet access etc, along with your own bathroom at the top of the house.

We live in Herne Hill, a really wonderful area with a fantastic sense of community in South-East London. Everything you need is nearby, from shops and Brockwell Park (5 minute walk) but we are also just 10 minutes by train from central London (Victoria and Blackfriars). The nearest station is Herne Hill, a 6 minute walk away and as there are lots of working mums at the children's school, there's a really active and friendly nanny community to get involved with.

Working Hours & Responsibilities:

Around 30 hours / week in term time (including 2 nights' babysitting), full-time in the holidays (except when we are away ourselves). Salary will be paid weekly and pro-rata so that the nanny can expect to be paid consistently, regardless of whether it's term time or holidays.

Other responsibilities include:

? Supervising and helping with homework (and music practice if you're musical!)

? Ensuring children are stimulated with age-appropriate activities, including trips to park, arts and crafts, reading & homework, organising play dates.

? Preparing tasty, varied & nutritionally balanced meals for children

? Keeping the house tidy and cleaning up after children.

? Doing the children?s laundry

? Helping walk the dog - we are an outdoorsy, dog-loving family so if you aren't this might not be the job for you!

We have a cleaner who cleans the house every Friday.

Salary is dependent on experience, but would be between ?250 and ?300 / week as well as 4 weeks' paid annual holiday.

Please send us your CV. If we think you are a good match for us, we would like to meet you in person in London, for an informal interview.

Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you.
