Part Time Nanny Required for Nanny Share

[Mirlew]

We are two families who live 5 minutes apart in Honor Oak Park / Crofton Park and are seeking a nanny share for two engaged and energetic (soon to be) 12 month olds from January 2018. Born two weeks apart, the boy and girl have very similar nap and mealtime routines already established. As the children are beginning to really explore the world around them we would like a nanny who takes an active interest in child development and enrichment through day trips, attending playgroups and meeting up with other nannies.

We are seeking someone to support our two families not just in basic childcare, but are also looking for a nanny to take the initiative and can respond positively to suggestions, communicate openly, and will create an environment for our children to develop further and thrive.

We believe the focus of the nanny should be on the children's needs, their enjoyment and their physical and mental development. Meals will typically be prepared in advance though the nanny may be required to do simple meal preparation (omelets, porridge, pasta etc.). No light housework is required for this role.

The two sets of parents can be flexible with start / finish times, however we are looking for a minimum of 8 hours per day. The role will start at 1 day per week with the view to increase this to 2 days per week by March. A small monthly budget will be provided for all outings.
