Job description

Job Overview

A wonderful opportunity has arisen for an experienced Nanny in the beautiful Somerset countryside for a family of three.

This is a long term role and they would love someone to become a part of the family caring for their 1 year old (in December) and they hope to have another child in the near future.

You will have full responsibility of the child and carry out all child care duties along with taking them to local groups, exploring the countryside and providing stimulating activities at home too.

The role would be 3 days, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, sometimes there will need to be flexibility on the days and opportunity for additional hours when the need arises.

Responsibilities

They are looking for a Nanny who is able to use their initiative, is fun, light hearted, creative and nurturing and who has a muck in attitude.

Someone who loves the outdoors and is used to living in the countryside is key. It would be great if you have an educational background to support the child in their learning.

You will need to be engaging and fun but also able to set and follow boundaries when necessary to ensure their child is active and happy and thrives in their environment.

They would also love to find someone who is happy to help with some light admin work such as making appointments, diary management and running any necessary errands and a little business admin.

Some help with light household duties such as laundry and ironing would be appreciated too. These duties can be carried out when the child is sleeping and also there will be times when Mum spends with the child (at lunchtime for example) so these tasks can be completed.

The family have a 4 year old Labrador so you will need to be comfortable around dogs.
