My Requirements

Position Details:
- Schedule: Monday 7:30am-6pm, Wednesday 12:30pm - 6:30pm, Thursday 7:30am to 6pm (Arthur will be in nursery Tuesday and Friday all day, then Wednesday morning). Total of 27 hours

- Contract role: End of June/start of July (some handover days during June if available) until March 2026 (our intention is to move Arthur into nursery full time at some point in 2026 ready for school in September 2026).

- We are also open to a summer nanny/placement if you are studying (this would run June/July to the end of August, with Arthur instead starting nursery in September or us continuing the nanny search).

Key Requirements:
- Sole Charge: You'll be solely responsible for Arthur's care during these hours, ensuring his safety, well-being, schedule and development.
- Activities & Engagement: We value a proactive and fun approach to childcare. You'll be responsible for organising and participating in activities like gymnastics, library visits, local groups, park
visits, as well as creative play and educational activities at home and in the garden.
- Food & Nutrition: We are committed to creating a healthy lifestyle for Arthur and believe that good nutrition plays a pivotal role in his growth and development. The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in preparing well-balanced, nutritious meals and snacks for him. We encourage fun and educational involvement in mealtimes, helping Arthur to develop positive eating habits and an appreciation for healthy food from an early age.
- Qualifications: First Aid and DBS check (experience of being a nanny with at least one other family, plus experience with toddlers including potty training)
- Keeping us up to date: We like to receive a few photos or videos of Arthur during the day as he enjoys different activities (we currently do this via a 3-person group WhatsApp) and have a 5–10-minute check-in at the end of the day to hear how he has eaten, check his nap times,
etc.
- Transportation: A reliable car is necessary for this role, and we are conveniently located by Twyford station. Parking is available, and there's easy access to the train line to Henley and
Reading.
- Tidiness: While we have a cleaner for the heavy lifting, we appreciate someone who
maintains tidiness after daily activities with Arthur.
- Pet-Friendly: Must be comfortable around pets, as we have two lovely ragdoll cats (no expectations on feeding or looking after the cats).

Who We're Looking For:
An extension of our family; someone reliable, proactive, and who genuinely enjoys engaging with children. Creativity and a love for outdoor and educational activities including reading are a plus.

Benefits:
- Competitive salary (based on experience and qualifications)
- Pension contributions
- Warm and supportive family environment
- Paid annual leave (days dependant on working week)
