Overview

A warm and welcoming family in Wimbledon are looking for an experienced, kind and proactive Nanny Housekeeper to join their household on a full-time, long-term basis.

This is a lovely opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys caring for children, cooking nutritious family meals and keeping a busy family home running smoothly.

The family has two children, a girl aged 4 and a boy aged 8, and lives in a spacious six-bedroom home arranged over four floors.

The role offers a varied combination of childcare, housekeeping, family cooking and household organisation. During term time, the position will be approximately 60% housekeeping and 40% childcare, shifting to around 70% childcare and 30% housekeeping during the school holidays.

During term time, childcare is particularly important between 7.00am and 8.30am and again from approximately 3.00pm to 7.00pm. The time between these periods will be spent managing the home, preparing meals and completing household duties, with the opportunity for a good break during the day.

One parent works shifts, so some weeks they will be at home more often, while at other times the Nanny Housekeeper will have sole responsibility for the children. The family is looking for someone who is comfortable working independently and alongside the parents, adapting naturally to their changing routines.

Above all, the family hopes to find someone who will become a valued part of their household, bringing warmth, reliability, organisation and a sense of fun. They are looking for a genuinely long-term arrangement and would love to find someone who will remain with them as the children grow.
