Job description

This delightful family in Balham are looking for a gentle and experienced nanny to join them one day a week to care for their happy, sociable 5-month daughter. This is a sole-charge, temporary role on Tuesdays from 8am-5pm starting as soon as possible andlasting for 12 weeks.

Their little girl is a happy and confident baby who loves being around other people. The family would like a nanny who enjoys getting about and about and can take their daughter to meet her baby friends and have some fun outings. They are looking for someone who is warm, tactile and genuinely loves caring for babies.

Mum works outside the home on Tuesdays, so they are looking for someone who is confident being sole charge and managing their daughter’s routine, including her naps which are still a big part of her day!

The family would also appreciate some help with nursery duties, keeping the baby’s bedroom and play space clean and tidy and ideally supporting her as she continues her weaning journey.

A two-year old cocker spaniel completes the family; he is gentle and quiet, heading out with his dog walker during the day. You’ll have a companion for some of the day but won’t need to care for him. Someone who loves dogs would be a big plus.
