About the role

Temporary Nanny required in Bentworth near Alton R1840 *POSITION CLOSED*

This lovely family are relocating from London, so a nanny with knowledge of the area would be helpful but not essential. This role can be a daily or live in option, depending on which best suits the candidate. A sole charge role, caring for two boys aged 7 and 5 years old. A driver is required and the family are planning to add a pet dog to the home once they have settled in, so pet friendly is a must.

This role is to cover while the family secure a permanent placement and they would be happy to offer additional hours for the right candidate.

This role would suit a proactive and fun nanny who enjoys the outdoors, having adventures with the boys and supporting their transition into a new school.

Duties

• Children’s laundry and wardrobe organisation

• Keeping children’s bedrooms, play areas and children’s belongings tidy and organised

• Preparing school uniforms, sports kits and anything needed for the following day

• Preparing healthy, nutritious meals and snacks for the children

• Batch cooking for the children

• Supporting with homework and reading as they progress through school

• Light housework to keep family life running smoothly, such as loading/unloading dishwasher, folding laundry, unpacking food shopping, managing bins/recycling

• Staying one step ahead of the children’s needs and helping to keep family life organised

There is a weekly cleaner, so no deep cleaning is required, but they are looking for someone who takes pride in leaving spaces tidy and organised at the end of the day.
