Job description

Overview

Starting in January 2026, a wonderful full-time nanny position has become available in Aspley Guise, Bedfordshire. The family is extremely friendly, both parents are professionals in demanding careers, and they share a love of travel, fitness and history. They also have two miniature Dachshund dogs who are part of the family. They have a regular dog walker, but a dog lover is required. The family is looking for a kind, nurturing and positive nanny who can stay long term and become part of their happy family. The ideal candidate will also be reliable, proactive and responsible.

Role

This is a sole charge role caring for one delightful little girl who is nearly two years old. She is a happy, active child who loves to be busy.

Hours

The hours of work will be Monday to Friday, 08:00–18:00. If any additional hours are ever required, it will be mutually agreed and paid as overtime.

Approach and activities

The parents are keen for their little girl to learn and develop in a balanced way, supporting her developmental milestones with a mix of educational and stimulating indoor activities (story time, sensory play, singing, age-appropriate games and activities, playtime etc.) and plenty of outdoor play in the garden and trips to the park. The little girl is screen free. The little girl currently attends local groups and activities in the mornings which you would need to attend with her, such as music class, baby ballet etc. The family also has annual passes to Woburn Safari Park and 360 Play for child-led excursions.

Requirements

You must be a confident and careful driver with a clean licence. A car will be provided for use during working hours.

Nursery duties

The family employs a weekly cleaner, so the role will focus on interacting with the little girl and some nursery duties. Typical nursery duties include:

• Playtime and interaction with the little girl
• General care of the little girl including nappy changes, bathtime, naptime etc
• Preparing a weekly activities plan
• Preparing homemade healthy and nutritious meals and snacks for the little girl. This will include creating a weekly meal plan, adding to the family online grocery order, and batch cooking. If you are happy to prepare extra food at dinner for Mum and Dad to have a family dinner with the little girl, this would be appreciated.
• Keeping her areas clean, tidy and organised (nursery, playroom, highchair, car seat, pram etc.)
• Managing her laundry

Knowledge and languages

Knowledge and experience of toddlers and toddler development is essential.

An additional language of French or Italian is a bonus (as these are dad’s first languages), but is not essential.

Travel and compensation

There is the possibility of accompaniment on holiday travel with the family, but is not essential.

This is a fantastic role and would suit someone caring and looking to make a long-term commitment.
