Job description

Overview

Starting in December 2025, a welcoming and professional family based in Padbury, Buckinghamshire is looking for a kind, reliable, and organised nanny to care for their three cheerful and energetic boys (aged 7, 4, and 1). This is a Tuesday to Thursday role (36 hours total, 07:30‑19:30) with a sole‑charge schedule, offering consistency and a good work‑life balance. Mum and Dad work a hybrid setup and Dad is away on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so those days need the most hands‑on support.

The eldest boy, aged 7, will be homeschooled with a tutor and benefits from gentle structure and extra patience; previous SEN experience is welcomed but not essential. The middle and youngest boys attend school/childminder during the day and the nanny will be responsible for their care after school and in the evenings.

• Organising outings to groups and classes with the eldest child during the day
• Preparing healthy, home‑cooked meals for the children
• Assisting with children’s laundry and keeping shared areas tidy
• Providing light household support, such as emptying the dishwasher and occasional errands (the family employs a weekly cleaner)
• Supporting homework, dinner, and bath time routines
• Coordinating handovers with other childminders/after‑school care providers

Qualifications & Requirements

• Minimum two years’ relevant experience
• Level 3 Childcare qualification preferred; experience essential
• 12‑hour Paediatric First Aid Certificate and a clear Enhanced DBS (Update Service)
• Own fully insured car (duty mileage will be paid)
• Must be available 07:30‑19:30, Tuesday‑Thursday (36 hours per week)
• Pet‑free household (no pets)
• Start date: ASAP
• Salary: £33,696 gross per annum plus mutually agreed overtime at £18 gross per hour
• Permanent role
• Must have at least two professional referees, one being a current or previous employer; referees must be immediately contactable
• Appropriate personal insurance is recommended
