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.

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.

Activities & Development

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.
