Part-Time Housekeeper/Nanny Needed for a Busy Family near Marlow, Berkshire

Start Date: ASAP
Working Hours: Monday to Thursday, minimum 16 hours per week (ideally 2:00pm–6:00pm)

About the Family

A lovely family based in the beautiful village of Cookham Dean are looking for a warm, reliable Housekeeper/Nanny to help support their busy home. With three school-aged children and a well-organised household, they're looking for someone who enjoys a varied role and takes pride in keeping family life running smoothly. They already employ a cleaner, so the focus is on day-to-day household management and childcare support rather than deep cleaning.

The Role

This is a hands-on afternoon role combining housekeeping and childcare. You'll collect the children from school, help them settle into their afternoon routine, and prepare a simple, nutritious evening meal for the family. Alongside this, you'll keep on top of family laundry, tidy and organise shared living spaces, and assist with the everyday jobs that make a busy household run effortlessly. The family also have a friendly dog, so occasional dog walking or pet care would be appreciated.

During the school holidays, there is the opportunity to increase your hours and spend more time caring for the family's three children. While the role is based on a minimum of 16 hours each week, the family are happy to offer additional hours to someone looking for a larger position.

Ideal Candidate:

• Previous experience working within a private household
• A confident cook who enjoys preparing wholesome family meals
• A driver with their own car
• Organised, proactive and happy to use their initiative
• Warm, dependable and looking for a long-term position
