My Requirements

We are a friendly family with a 2-year-old son and are looking for a caring and reliable nanny to help support us in the day-to-day care of our child. We live in Oldham and are seeking a live-out nanny who will come to our at particular hours to provide care and support, both when one or both parents are present.

Key Responsibilities:
General Child Care: Engage with our son in age-appropriate activities like taking walks in the park, attending playgroups, and participating in other activities that 2-year-olds love. Help foster his creativity, learning, and emotional development through play and routine activities.

Support with Daily Routine: Assist with our son’s sleep routine, potty training, feeding times, and general care. We are working to help him establish regular habits, as we hope he will be ready for formal nursery and schooling next year.

Nanny Duties: Help with general household duties related to childcare, including tidying up after play, mealtime clean-up, assisting with dressing, and maintaining an organised, child-friendly environment.

Parental Support: Most of the time, one of us will be at home, so the nanny will provide additional support with play, child care, and general tasks. We value a collaborative approach to parenting, with the nanny working alongside us in a supportive, flexible way.

Screen-Free Environment: We would like to refrain from mobile phones, iPads, and television for our son, and we are seeking a nanny who can encourage creative play, physical activity, and learning without relying on screens.

Personal Qualities We’re Looking For:
Empathy and Patience: We need a nanny who is caring, empathetic, and patient. Someone who understands the needs of a toddler and can approach discipline and routines with a calm, gentle approach.

First Aid and Safety: Basic first aid knowledge is essential. We want someone who can act quickly and confidently in case of an emergency.

Cleanliness and Punctuality: A tidy, organised, and punctual individual who takes pride in keeping the environment clean and maintaining routines.

Reliability and Flexibility: The ideal candidate should be dependable, with the ability to adapt to our family's needs. We need someone who can work independently but also collaborate when needed.

Job Type and Hours:
Live-out Nanny: Hours will vary, depending on family's schedule, others at least 3 hours and at most 8 or 9, also depending on the Nanny's availability.

Family Support: We are seeking someone who can integrate into our home and provide flexible, day-to-day support to both parents, particularly when only one parent is around.

Additional Qualities:
Experience with Toddlers: Previous experience with toddlers is essential. Understanding of child development and the ability to keep our son engaged and learning is key.

Natural Fit: We would love a nanny who is not just a caregiver but also a natural part of the family dynamic—someone who is comfortable in a warm, home-centered environment.

If you believe you would be a great fit for our family, we would love to hear from you! Please feel free to reach out via the Childcare messaging system.
