Job Description

I have one lovely 4-year-old child and a small, friendly dog -- and I'd love to find someone who can help make our afternoons and evenings run smoothly.

Light housekeeping and meal prep -- laundry, tidying, and organising. School pick-up around 4:30pm. Fun and engaging playtime after school, followed by dinner and winding down. Creating and maintaining a calm, consistent bedtime routine to help the evening flow smoothly.
There will also be the occasional bit of admin (like booking holiday clubs or play dates), and some weekend or ad-hoc hours may be available by agreement.

About You:

You're a caring, positive and experienced nanny who enjoys nurturing young children. Confident in creating routines, especially around mealtimes and bedtime. Organised, reliable, and happy to help keep the home running smoothly. Comfortable with dogs and daily pet care. Trustworthy and good at taking initiative.
