Job description

This active and outdoorsy family are looking for a kind and confident Nanny to help in the care of their two boys aged 6 and 3.

Your duties will include pick ups from school and pre-school, children’s laundry and cooking of healthy balanced meals and any other duties or errands related to the children. They are ideally looking for someone to work Monday-Thursday 2-6pm but there is a possibility they could swap Thursday pm for a Friday am. This can be a term time only position but ideally they would like someone that could work some hours in the school holidays. The ideal candidate will be organised, caring with a positive energy. Someone with an understanding of children’s emotions and is confident to set boundaries when required.

The children both love to spend time outdoors, pottering around the garden going on bug hunts, playing in the mud kitchen and playing sports. They have 3 chickens that will often join them in the garden! They both have a real interest in food and love to cook and bake together so someone who enjoys cooking would be a bonus. They also have a love of books and spend most days reading at some point. As a family they love to spend time in nature and with Ashton Court and Leigh Woods on the doorstep this is a great opportunity to explore and go for great walks.

This is a permanent position.
