Are you an experienced and compassionate nanny with a background in caring babies and toddlers?
A wonderful twelve month fixed term nanny position is becoming available in Buckingham, Buckinghamshire. You will be assisting a stay-at-home Mum in caring for her children – a little boy aged two and his new sibling who is due in October 2025. The role has the possibility of being extended if all is going well.
The hours for this role will be Monday-Friday, 07.00-10.00 returning in the afternoon at 16.00-20.00 (35 hours/week). Additional hours for babysitting will be mutually agreed upon and paid as overtime at the hourly rate. This role could also work as a live in position. You would have a private ensuite bedroom in the house and the hours and salary will be adjusted for this option.
Your primary focus will be supporting Mum with both children, seamlessly transitioning between their care as needed and confidently taking charge when required. Flexibility in this role is a must. At times, Mum may leave both children with you while she attends to other tasks, or she may take one child for quality time. Occasionally, you may all do something together.
In addition to being organised and understanding the importance of routines, you should have experience with newborns, a warm nurturing approach, and a strong rapport with toddlers. The little boy currently attends nursery Tuesday-Friday, so he we be at home on the Monday.
The parents are eager for their children to learn and grow in a balanced way, achieving developmental milestones through stimulating indoor activities like sensory play, imaginative games, reading, puzzles, and crafts, alongside plenty of outdoor play and park visits. As they grow older, the parents hope for the children to participate in playdates and groups to ensure their happiness and safety. The family lives in a spacious home within easy distance of parks, local groups, and town amenities.
In addition to general childcare duties (feeding, changing, establishing routines, etc.), responsibilities include maintaining cleanliness and organisation in areas used by the children (kitchen, bedrooms, children’s bathroom, playroom, etc.). Nursery duties involve managing children’s laundry and providing healthy, nutritious meals daily (preferably homemade). As the baby grows, meals should be age-appropriate and prepared in advance, frozen for weekend use by the parents. A weekly cleaner is employed by the family.
A careful and confident driver with a clean licence and your own fully insured car is required. Duty mileage will be reimbursed.
