Afternoon/Evening Nanny wanted for 9 mos old and 3.5 yr old

by Camille • Glasgow
Hello! My name is Cami - my partner and I have two children - A aged 3.5 yrs and S aged 9 months. My partner works M-F from 12-8pm. I’m struggling to take care of both children after nursery and cook for the family. Ideally, we would like someone who could help take care of the children from 4-8pm while I cook dinner or tend to their needs. We would also like someone who can help with baths and putting the children to bed as needed. Lastly, on Saturdays, my spouse and I both have morning commitments from 9-12 that we would like to attend. So also looking for someone who could watch both children - take them to park or engage them while we’re gone. About A - she is being evaluated for autism and/or ADHD so someone who has some understanding on neurodivergence is a plus. (My partner is also AuDHD) A does well at nursery/socially but can have challenges at home. About you - looking for someone who isn’t daunted by neurodivergence. Someone who is able to anticipate household/childrens needs is helpful. If occasionally light housework (picking up toys for ex.) is needed or cooking/microwaving you wouldn’t be put off by that. Speaking another language is a plus but NOT necessary. We would love to expose our children to learning other languages. Overall, someone who is warm and engaging. Our children respond well to humour and smiles so a warm manner is very important!

We have two children - boys aged 4 and 6 - and a baby girl is expected by the end of January 2025. Job is around 40 hours per week, however, there is the opportunity for many ad hoc hours.

We have a spare room and separate bathroom that can be used by the nanny. * Role is shared charge as the mother is home. * Some light tidying up and assistance with the house would be required - we do, however, have a separate housekeeper who comes in the afternoons. * Language - ideally, native German speaker.

Attention: looking for a nanny for 2 children.

by Martin • London
Hello, we are searching for a nanny to help us primarily with after school care for our 2 children, aged nearly-4 and 18 months. The core hours would be after-school pickup for our pre-schooler (15:30-18:00 - school is ~10 minute walk from the house) Mon-Wed, including evening meal prep. We would then also like to extend one of those days to a full day of care (from 9am) for our 18 month old, to include help around the house, such as laundry, meal prep for the other days, and light housework (we have a separate cleaner who comes once a week). We could also foresee occasional additional hours in the evenings or weekends (dependent on availability, obviously), as well as some full days during school holidays. Our pre-schooler is a high energy and chatty little boy, so we're looking for someone who can keep up with him and take him to appropriate afterschool activities, or keep him occupied with fun activities in the home. Our toddler is a music and dance loving little girl, who enjoys food and art - as much as an 18 month old can! We are both full-time professionals, and one of us works primarily from home (we have a separate work office at the end of the garden). We've very excited to find someone who will be able to help us manage our busy lives. Please send us a message if you are interested.
