Lovely weekend job just in for Clients of Eden who we recently placed their housekeeper with. This will be a mix of shared and sole charge working with lovely well-behaved children, competitive salary on offer!

Job Summary: A lovely family with 4 children who recently moved to the UK are looking to staff their home. We have placed two housekeepers with them, and they have a nanny that work during the week, they would now like to find a nanny for the weekend. The staff we have placed comment on what a lovely family they are to work with, and everyone gets on with each other in this beautiful home close to Notting Hill tube. The ideal nanny for the weekend will be energetic, fun, organised and experienced like a big sister but who is not a pushover. The three girls love their little brother, they all have their own personalities and things they like to do. The home has a pool, so a swimmer is important. Driving is not essential but if you did drive that would be a bonus. The parents will be around so this will be a mix of sole and shred care, however you would not be expected to look after all 4 children by yourself.

General duties:

A mix of sole and shared care – Working in a team with the parents as an extra pair of hands
Planning activities for the children, a mix of arts and crafts, reading spelling and music time
Preparing snacks and meals
Keep the play areas tidy and organised
Outdoor outings and play- the home has a swimming pool

Candidate requirements:

It is essential you have experience working with children of similar age, there are 4 children you will need to enjoy being active and embrace this age group
A good communicator – ability to work closely with the parents – divide and conquer
A confident swimmer
Fluent English skills are essential
A happy, upbeat personality that the children will think of you as a big sister but who can command respect at the same time
Good team person who can get on with other staff around
