Afterschool childcare - 5 days / week - needed

Recommended Posts

We are looking for an after-school nanny for our children ? 14 year old daughter (Year 10) and 11 year old daughter (Year 7). While the girls are no longer ?young? and no longer require full-time ?care?, they (and we!) still appreciate having someone in our home after school, to welcome them home and to be a responsible adult in the house.


The role involves approximately 20 hours during term-time (~3pm to 7pm) and is mostly full-time (9am to 7pm) during school holidays. There may also be the opportunity for additional hours on an ad hoc basis during term time.


We are looking for someone warm & caring with a sense of fun. You must also be responsible, reliable, trustworthy and organised ? e.g. keeping track of the girls? schedules and helping them to be organised.


Your primary responsibilities will include supervising homework, cooking the girls? evening meal, coordinating after-school activities, and being a friend to the girls. You will also be expected to assist with light household duties such as washing / ironing of children?s clothes, tidying children?s areas and bedrooms, child-related admin etc. We have a lovely cleaner so heavier housework not expected.


You must be fluent in English and able to supervise/help with homework. A clean UK driving license is also preferred, but not required. Excellent references and a genuine enthusiasm for supporting our girls as they grow and develop required.


Please respond with your CV if interested. I will reply only to suitable candidates already based in the UK.


Thank you.

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
