Job description

A welcoming family in Coventry are looking for a warm, engaging and proactive

afternoon nanny to support their two young children, aged 4 and 2. Having recently

returned to the UK after living abroad for a year, the family are keen to help the children

develop their English communication skills through everyday conversation, play and

fun-filled activities. They are looking for a nanny who is confident communicating with

young children, naturally engaging in conversation and passionate about supporting

their language development.

The family have a spacious living room where the children love to play, providing plenty

of opportunities for creative play, games, reading and age-appropriate activities. The

nanny will take the initiative in planning and leading engaging afternoons tailored to the

children’s interests and developmental needs. Trips to the local park, visits to

playgroups and other local activities will also be encouraged to help the children build

confidence, socialise with others and develop their English in different environments.

Alongside providing attentive and nurturing care, the nanny will help maintain a clean,

tidy and organised environment, ensuring the children’s play areas and belongings are

well cared for. This is a lovely opportunity for a proactive and enthusiastic nanny who

enjoys supporting early childhood development and can create a positive, stimulating

environment where two young children can thrive.
