Nanny needed 4 days a week 8am-6pm!


Recommended Posts

Hi there


We are excited to be looking for a nanny to help us with our 2 lovely children (boy 3, girl 1) ideally 4 days a week, but may also be able to manage with 3 days a week for the right person. We would like to find someone reliable, kind and caring but also someone who is easy to work and communicate with and above all is able to make our children smile. We would like someone who has initiative and lots of energy! We are a young and friendly household and like to instil kindness, curiosity and independence in the children as much as possible. We like to have a lot of fun with the children but there are clear boundaries and routines in place for everybody's sanity!


Mum will be returning to work ASAP ? ideally by early April but no later than 3rd May four days a week.


You can expect days to look something like this:


8am - 6pm (there is some flexibility here) taking and collecting our son to/from nursery (a 10-15 minute stroll/ scoot) where he attends 9am - 3.30pm four days a week. After drop-off, doing a late morning activity/ class with our daughter, home for lunch and her nap 1-3pm (she?s a cot sleeper!) before collecting our son and perhaps the local park or play date after school or just home for play and supper. We envisage that occasionally we will be able to finish our work slightly earlier and that will enable the nanny to finish slightly earlier too if he/she would like.


Our son's nursery is term-time only meaning that during school holidays we'd love you to take the children on fun days out or plan play dates with friends.


We have a brilliant cleaner who helps us one day a week and so any additional things we may ask of the nanny might be preparing healthy meals for the children, keeping play spaces and the kitchen tidy, perhaps unloading the dishwasher or unpacking the food shop. You won't be asked to do any cleaning or ironing!


We would so love to find someone to be an extended part of our family and someone who would be excited to be a big part of the children's lives and to watch and help them to grow. There are lots of wider opportunities for occasional evening babysitting etc. if that would appeal. Our daughter will start at the same nursery as our son when she turns 2 in March 2022 and at that point we'd like someone who can do wrap around care but also look after our home and all the responsibilities that come with that during the nursery day (9am-3.15pm). We will need a nanny for years to come also to manage the long nursery (and school) holidays.


Many thanks for your interest,

    • Couldn't the sanctuary have taken the female as well? That's very sad 😭 
    • One of the main reasons these goslings don't survive is because once they leave their nest on the island, they are unable to return to it's safety because of the height of the artificial bank - it's basically a brick wall, with no natural slope.  So they & their parents are left to try to fend off predators either in the water or on the outer bank - literally sitting ducks. I think in the last 10 years I've only seen a handful of goslings survive to maturity, and that's with two broods per year, often six, eight, ten goslings per brood.  It's very sad, and just needs the council / parks to remove some bricks to create a more natural sloped bank so they can access the safety of the island. I've asked many times, and hoped some of the Gala "biodiversity" funds could be used, but to no avail.  There are signs all around the lake stating dogs should be on a lead, but many owners seem to miss them, and don't appear to be concerned that the wildfowl are visibly & audibly disturbed by their presence, or aware how much damage their dogs can do. A few years back a loose dog attacked a male Egyptian goose and injured it so badly that it had to be taken to a sanctuary. Egyptian geese mate for life, so the female has remained alone ever since.
    • I agree that selling items online can be a bit of a faff but the ebay app makes  it easier these days to put photos on, set a postage rate, descriptions, etc. I’ve been buying and selling on eBay for quite a while now and it can be hit and miss with the selling and it does take a bit of time, buying the packaging, taking it to the post office (which I use to send everything I sell) but it can be a way to make a bit of spare cash.  I sell bits on eBay for myself and for a charity I support. I’ve been selling bits on this forum for my charity but this is a bit hit and miss as well.   If the OP pms me maybe I might be able to help and sell her clothes for her (and me) 😀        
    • 80pc of the value comes from 20pc of the inventory. I'd suggest running through it and putting into 3 heaps: A - quality branded. Depending on how much there is in this category, you might then be able to find someone for a 'split the profits' offer.  C - un-sellable by charity (marked, damaged). To a "clothes by the KG" service. B - everything else. Donate to charity.
