Part Time Nanny

This is a long-term opportunity to build a trusting relationship and grow with the family. You will provide attentive care, follow the baby’s established routine and encourage their development through age-appropriate play.

The parents work from home, and there is an elderly dog in the household, so you should be comfortable working alongside parents and around pets.

Hours required

* Monday, Thursday and Friday.
* Initially 9 hours per week.
* Proposed hours are 12pm–3pm, although the family is flexible and has also expressed a preference for evenings. The final working pattern will be agreed with the successful applicant.
* Additional hours are expected to become available as the nanny settles into the role.

Your responsibilities

* Provide warm, responsive care, keeping the baby safe, comfortable and content.
* Follow the family’s routines for feeding, sleep and daily care.
* Prepare and give feeds, monitoring and sharing relevant information with the parents.
* Support weaning in partnership with the family when appropriate.
* Plan age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and development.
* Attend to nappy changes, hygiene and other personal care needs.
* Keep the baby’s play areas and feeding equipment clean and tidy.
* Communicate openly with the parents and respect the family’s household arrangements.

About you

* A kind, patient and reliable person who enjoys caring for babies.
* Relevant hands-on experience with babies, whether through nannying, other childcare roles or raising your own children.
* An understanding of infant development, safe sleep, feeding and weaning.
* Comfortable with the practical aspects of baby care, including floor-based play and lifting and carrying a baby.
* Able to build positive relationships and work respectfully with parents who are at home.
* A full driving licence and access to a vehicle.

Formal childcare qualifications are welcomed but are not essential if you have substantial relevant experience.

What we offer

* £16 per hour.
* A long-term role with the opportunity to grow alongside the family.
* Flexibility around the agreed working hours.
* Scope for additional hours as the role develops.
* Additional payment for agreed travel undertaken with the child.
