My Requirements

We are looking to expand our team with an additional nanny for rotational, semi-ad-hoc shifts.
The role involves both day and night support, helping ease the load and allowing us to enjoy our rest time. Flexibility is key, as there are no fixed dates for shifts. No driving is required.

Breastfeeding Support: Assisting mother with feeding routines or bottle-feeding expressed milk.
Burping: Ensuring the baby is burped after feeds to prevent discomfort.
2. Sleep and Soothing
Night Care: Watching over the baby during the night, comforting them, and helping them fall back asleep.
Sleep Routines: Supporting the parents in establishing gentle sleep patterns appropriate for the baby's age.
Soothing: Calming the baby using techniques such as rocking, swaddling, or singing.
3. Nappies and Hygiene
Changing nappies promptly to ensure comfort and prevent irritation.
Keeping the baby clean with gentle baths or sponge baths.
Monitoring and caring for sensitive skin to prevent rashes.
4. Developmental Stimulation
Engaging the baby with age-appropriate sensory activities, such as talking, singing, or showing simple toys.
5. General Health Monitoring
Observing the baby for signs of discomfort, illness, or developmental concerns.
Keeping track of feeding, sleeping, and changing patterns to share with parents.
6. Emotional Support for Parents
Providing reassurance and guidance to first-time or sleep-deprived parents.
Offering the parents opportunities to rest, run errands, or take personal time.
