Job description

This professional couple are looking for a reliable and warm Nanny to help them 2 days a week, Tuesday and Thursday with before and after school care for their two children aged 6 and 2 years.

The eldest child attends school in Bristol so a confident driver is essential and the youngest attends nursery on route. Your duties will be school and nursery runs, morning and afternoon, taking the eldest to after school activities such as tennis and swimming, providing tea for the children, engaging in play and activities after school/nursery and ensuring the children are safe and happy.

The 6 year old loves theatre and dance, is energetic and inquisitive. She is musical and they have a piano at home so if you play the piano or can teach the children piano this would be a huge bonus. The 2 year old is a happy and cuddly boy who enjoys ball games in the garden and loves animals.

The ideal candidate will be adaptable and enjoy being active with the children. Having worked in a similar situation is essential so that you are aware of what makes a home run smoothly in the parents absence. The family live in a traditional country house with a large country garden, they have chickens and ducks, which the children enjoy collecting the eggs from. They also plan to have a dog in the near future so someone animal friendly is key.
