About Me

I’m a mum of 3 kids - a sporty and sensitive 9 year old boy, a funny and creative 7 year old girl and a busy little 3 year old boy, as well as a super friendly cocker spaniel called Badger. We're essentially looking for an extra pair of hands at home from around 2pm each week day until 7.30/8pm during the term time, and 3 days a week on top of that during the school holidays. Life’s super busy with our little tribe and increasingly so, as they all have different clubs, matches, homework etc - my husband isn't home until 8pm in the evening, and whilst I work from home I’m finding one of me isn’t enough to be everywhere I need to be, and give them the kind of meaningful time they all want and need. I’m hoping to find someone bubbly and proactive to come and slot into the family and help with the gang during these hours. It would include general childcare (often with me also at home doing something with one of the other kids), some school pick ups, meal preparation for the children, tidying up in the evening - kitchen, playroom and kids bedrooms (not cleaning), packing kids bags, helping them with homework etc, having fun with the kids and maybe the odd dog walk! There would be opportunities for evening babysitting, the odd overnight and weekend stay, and if you're up for it the occasional holiday we'd love to have you join us on if you're up for it. We have had a wonderful nanny doing this role for the last 15 months, and we've found a great rhythm and had a fab time together, but sadly she is moving to a job with more travel.
