Live in nanny required in Herne Hill from August

[SarahGooding]

We are a fun-loving family of four (as well as a small dog, called Trousers!) with two children, a daughter of 6 and a son of 4, who live in Herne Hill.

We are looking for a lively, live-in nanny to start at the end of August.

Key skills we require:

- At least 2 years relevant experience

- A love of food, cooking and eating

- A driver, with a clean licence

- A proven love of nurturing and educating small people

- An active interest in being outdoors, playing games, swimming, playing, jumping on trampolines etc

- Fluency in English

Who you are:

- Someone who wants to get stuck in, be part of a cheerful, upbeat household

- Pro-active and self-motivated, you've got loads of ideas for fun stuff to do

- Super-organised, you love nothing more than organising other people and getting stuff done; you're a 'can-do' sort of person who really thrives in a busy family environment

- You really, REALLY love working with children and are specifically looking for a position that means you'll be working with school-age kids

- You?re someone who's very much looking for a long-term position, rather than a short-term stop-gap

- You love making, collecting, glueing, sticking, drawing, cutting, painting, building and colouring

What we can offer:

- You'll have exclusive use of the top floor of our 3-storey family home, which includes a large double-bedroom (with lovely views of Brockwell Park!) as well as your own bathroom

- Two really loving, affectionate children, who are quick to form attachments and are bright, well-behaved and keen to please

- While the role demands full-time care from Monday to Friday in the school holidays (apart from when we are away as a family), term-time is a lot more flexible with periods of free time during the day.

- Salary is entirely dependent on experience: what matters to us most is that we find the person who's the right fit for our family; it's a lot more about attitude, energy and enthusiasm than it is about having the 'right' qualifications etc.

We are really excited about meeting the person who's going to be such an important part of our lives and would love to hear from you if you think it could be you!
