Two Day, Live Out, Nanny, Bedford, Bedfordshire

About the role

Are you a kind, happy, and active nanny who loves to have fun?

A fabulous two-day, live-out, sole-charge nanny position has become available with a professional and welcoming family in Bedford. You should be a dog lover, as the family has a friendly Labrador who would enjoy a walk whenever possible.

The hours will be 07:00-18:00 on Monday and Tuesday (22 hours per week). There may also be occasional additional hours for babysitting, which will be mutually agreed and paid as overtime. The role could alternatively work as a Monday-Friday after school position from 15:00-18:00 (15 hours per week), with the salary adjusted accordingly.

You will be responsible for caring for three happy children: a boy aged eight and his two sisters, aged four and three. The two eldest children are at school, so your main daytime care will be with the youngest. The girls enjoy arts, crafts, and anything involving glitter, while the little boy loves being outdoors, shooting goals, or reading a book. A crafty, football playing nanny would be ideal!

You should be someone who enjoys planning fun and educational activities, such as story time at the library or taking the dog to feed the ducks. Even pairing socks from the laundry or choosing what to have for dinner at the shops can be turned into fun activities.

Before collecting the older children each day, you will have some time at home to help keep family life running smoothly. The family employs a cleaner each week, so your responsibilities will include nursery duties such as the children's laundry and ironing, maintaining the children's bedrooms and toys, and preparing healthy, nutritious meals for the children each day. You will also oversee any homework, uniform, sports kit, or costumes needed for school, encouraging the children to help whenever possible.

You will end the day with the dinner and bath routine, ensuring that all used rooms are left tidy and ready for when the parents return from work. However, the family's main priority is that the children are happy, stimulated, and loved.

You should be a careful and confident driver with a clean licence. A car is available for use while on duty.

If you are a kind, caring, fun, organised nanny who is responsible, reliable, and has strong family values, this could be the perfect role for you.
