GREAT HOUSEKEEPER/NANNY OPPORTUNITY AFTERNOONS FREE

posté par sistersworldchat - 02/09/2015 23:00

Caring and conscientious housekeeper / nanny 07h00 to 14h00, 4 days a week, and 09h00 to 19h00 on Sundays, sought by kind and welcoming family (live out, Maida Vale).

We are a positive, happy French-English bilingual family with 4 children, 2 girls aged 8 and 9 and 2 boys aged 4 and 6, seeking help in the morning with breakfast and getting the children to school 4 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) followed by taking care of the house until 14h00, and general nanny/ housekeeping help 09h00 to 19h00 on most Sundays.

Fluent French favoured, but candidates with fluent English will also be considered.

This is a term-time position, but where flexibility is required to undertake additional hours during school holidays, and with the possibility of travel with the family by arrangement.

Candidates must be willing to take on, and excel at, all housekeeping duties including all necessary household tidying and cleaning, all family laundry and ironing and regular deep clean of those areas that need it (e.g. kitchen). Elaborate cooking skills are not required but basic cooking skills would be an advantage for ad hoc requirements.

In addition candidates must have a genuine interest in children and their development in order to contribute to their upbringing whenever they have responsibility for them. The children have high expectations placed on them in terms of politeness and respect and contribution to running the household, and respond very well to a positive and firm approach. They have a very close relationship with their after school nanny of almost 5 years, and are sad to see their current morning nanny move on (to study for a masters degree)

In short we are looking for someone who is

• positive, cheerful, pro-active and happy to help wherever required
• absolutely reliable, organised and meticulous, and likes to organise their time rather than to be micro-managed
• a non-smoker who chooses a healthy lifestyle
• allowed to live and work in the UK and lives within 30 minutes of Warwick Avenue or Paddington underground stations
• holder of great references (for housekeeping as well as childcare)


In return we offer

• a truly inclusive, welcoming environment where all who help in the household are treated with equal respect and as part of the team
• a family willing to invest in your skills, including multiple opportunities to develop nanny skills through coaching and formal nanny training, as well as skills in other areas such as first aid
• hours which allow you to pursue other opportunities in the afternoon and all day on Wednesday
• a highly competitive salary dependent on experience and paid holidays
• opportunities to earn overtime by arrangement during school holidays or through babysitting

If interested, please reply to sistersworldchat@gmail.com attaching your CV and references. You need to be available to interview in London ASAP.

Please only apply if you have housekeeping experience as well as experience of childcare.

Due to high response rates we are sorry that we are unable to reply to each applicant personally.

We look forward to hearing from you!
