Loving and Reliable Nanny Needed for One Day a Week (Flexible)

by Ryan • Chelmsford
We are looking for a caring and engaging nanny to help care for our two children (a 2-year-old and a baby) one day per week between 9 AM - 3 PM (or 5 PM). We are flexible on the day (Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday) as our daughter attends nursery on Wednesdays and Fridays. This role may extend to two days per week in the future. The role is to provide support to mum, giving her time to focus on personal activities while ensuring the children are well cared for. Dad works from home, so support is available throughout the day. Key Responsibilities: - Engaging and mentally stimulating playtime, especially for our energetic 2-year-old. She enjoys creative arts; outdoor time (we have lots of playgrounds nearby); storytelling; music and dancing; and role-playing. - We will shortly be potty training her, so may need support here. - Preparing and serving lunch for the children - Feeding baby bottles every 3-4 hours - Managing naptimes (2-year-old naps from 12-2 PM, baby naps every 2-3 hours) - Additionally, we are also looking for a babysitter for occasional evenings (once every two weeks, potentially increasing to once a week) to allow us some date nights! If you are a warm, responsible, and energetic nanny who enjoys working with young children, we’d love to hear from you! Thank you :)
