Live-in or Live-out Housekeeper/Nanny Job – Maidenhead
This is a wonderful opportunity to work for a warm and welcoming family based in Maidenhead. The family live in a six-bedroom house with an annex (three bedrooms currently in use) and are looking for a reliable, experienced, and child-friendly Housekeeper/Nanny to join their household.
The family have one young daughter who attends nursery two days a week and are expecting a new baby in the coming months. They also have a friendly working cocker spaniel, so you must be comfortable around dogs. No cooking is required for this role.
The four-day week will include one full day of housekeeping, two days of nursery pick-ups followed by sole care of the eldest child until the family returns home, and one full day of sole nanny care. When the second child arrives, there will be greater flexibility in childcare responsibilities, as a primary caregiver will be present in the home more frequently.
The position would suit someone who takes pride in their work, is highly organised, and enjoys maintaining a family home to a high standard. You should also be a confident driver, as you will occasionally need to drive the child to and from nursery.
