Looking for an Experienced After-School Babysitter/Nanny in West Berkshire

by Liz • West Berkshire
Hello! We are looking for an after-school nanny for 2 days per week for our 2 daughters, ages 7 and 4. They go to school in Hermitage and live near Brimpton, so looking for someone who can do school pickups, and then help with some fun after-school activities, prep tea, run baths, etc. Hours would be approximately 3:30-7pm on Mondays & Tuesdays. Our 7 year-old has ASD and struggles with after-school care due to being overly tired in the school environment. Both girls are extremely sweet and love to play, do art, help to cook, etc, as well as have quiet down time when needed. Please note, we have young labrador (who is very cute!), so there would be minimal but some requirement to let her out periodically and lay down her supper, etc. I work from home (with US hours, hence lack of availability in afternoons) and try to stay out of the way upstairs as much as ########...### generally here in a pinch if assistance is needed. We are open to extending hours term school holidays if it aligns well. We'd love to hear from anyone who might be looking to supplement existing childcare roles or think they'd be a good fit for this! Thanks for your consideration.
