• Encourage and assist with the educational needs of the children, including homework, projects and school requests or requirements
• Prepare boarding school bags, items and essentials for time away from the family home
• Tidy the children’s bedrooms and play areas
• Ensure appropriate discipline for the children at all times, whilst providing appropriate care if and when the children are unwell
• Organising birthday parties and preparing gifts for other children’s parties
• Undertaking light housework relating to the children where necessary
• Running general errands for the needs of the children and family

Essential skills and attributes:

• Enhanced DBS check

Start: September / October 2025 to allow time for a handover with the current Nanny
