Part time Baby Nanny | Islington, End of August Start

A lovely family based in Islington are looking for a warm, proactive, and organised nanny housekeeper to join them as Mum returns to work in September. As first-time parents, they are seeking someone who will become a valued part of their family and provide both childcare and household support.

The role is for up to 24 hours per week. The minimum they need is one full day of childcare, and are ideally looking for two half days of housekeeping followed by childcare. The couple would also be open to a candidate who can offer ad hoc babysitting/childcare out of standard hours, e.g. the occasional Friday night or weekend day.

Their little one will be five months at start date, and will attend nursery four days a week from the second week of September. The successful candidate will primarily carry out a full day of sole-charge childcare on a Thursday (when the baby is not at nursery), and ideally be available for at least one, possibly two, half days in addition to Thursday (housekeeping duties before collecting from nursery and caring for them for the remainder of the day).

Housekeeping responsibilities will include keeping the home clean and tidy, family laundry and ironing, changing bedding, and ideally cooking (primarily for the baby, but will look at candidates who also have experience cooking for whole families). The family are looking for someone who is experienced with young babies, kind, dependable, and able to use their initiative, taking pride in both childcare and maintaining a welcoming home.

This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced nanny housekeeper looking to build a long-term relationship with a friendly family. The position is to start at the end of August.
