The Role

The nanny will take responsibility for the girls after school, creating a fun, relaxed and engaging afternoon while ensuring their routines and responsibilities are managed.

The girls have a wonderful range of interests, including swimming, cycling, outdoor play, singing and drama, so someone who enjoys being active and getting involved would be ideal.

Homework support will also be an important part of the role, alongside preparing snacks and meals and helping with the children's evening routines.

The family would particularly love someone who enjoys cooking or is keen to learn, as the girls enjoy getting involved in the kitchen and cooking together.
