A welcoming private family of five in Bricket Wood, St Albans, Hertfordshire, is seeking an experienced Housekeeper Nanny to join their household on a permanent, full-time, live-out basis from the end of September. The primary focus of the position will be maintaining the family home to a high standard, with responsibility for general housekeeping, laundry, ironing, tidying and household organisation.

Occasional family-style cooking will also be required. The family enjoys straightforward, home-cooked meals, with no expectation for elaborate or highly specialised cuisine.

Only candidates who have the eligibility to work in the UK will be considered for this role.
