A warm and welcoming family in Wilmslow, Cheshire, are seeking an ad hoc nanny to provide occasional sole-charge care for their three children, aged 10 years, 4 years, and 5 months. The role will include proxy-parent overnight childcare when parents are away, as well as some evening and weekend support.

About the Role

• Overnight care will be required on an as-needed basis, with notice always provided in advance. One date to note is a weekend trip at the end of September.

• During the school day, care will be focused on the baby, ensuring all of their daily needs are met.
• At weekends, the nanny will care for all children, planning fun and stimulating activities that support their development.
• The older child may not always be present at weekends.

The children are described as happy, well-balanced, and caring, and the family have previously employed a maternity nurse via Happy Nest, who spoke very highly of them.
