Full time Nanny Housekeeper near Glastonbury

This family are looking for a calm, capable and trustworthy person to become part of a busy but relaxed family home supporting three children, including a baby. The children are aged 9 and 7 years and 18 months.

This is a varied role blending childcare and household support. During the day, the successful candidate will focus primarily on caring for the family’s 18-month-old, planning engaging, age-appropriate activities, encouraging development through play, spending plenty of time outdoors and supporting a nurturing environment. After school, the role becomes more flexible, providing support wherever it is most needed. This may involve taking one or both of the older children to clubs and activities, helping with homework or the evening routine, or remaining at home with the toddler while the parents take the older children. The family are looking for someone who is happy to adapt to the needs of each day and enjoys being part of a collaborative family team.

Other duties include preparing children’s meals, children’s laundry, keeping children’s bedrooms and play areas clean and organised, and carrying out light child-related household duties. The ideal candidate will be proactive, able to use their own initiative and happy to help keep the family home running smoothly.

The family are very home-based and enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring the surrounding countryside, baking, gardening and creative play. There will also be occasional babysitting and the opportunity to accompany the family on UK and overseas trips.

A muck in attitude is essential and when one of the parents are away working it can be a full-on role but there will also be times when slightly less hours are required. The atmosphere in the house is informal and down-to-earth rather than highly structured. They are looking for someone who can bring steadiness, warmth and common sense to the rhythm of everyday life. Both parents work from home in the garden studio so you will need to be comfortable with parents being around.

This will suit someone looking for a long-term position, in the countryside, within a warm family environment, with flexibility, variety and room to grow with the role over time.

This is a permanent position.
