Part Time Nanny Required for Nanny Share


Mirlew

Recommended Posts

We are two families who live 5 minutes apart in Honor Oak Park / Crofton Park and are seeking a nanny share for two engaged and energetic (soon to be) 12 month olds from January 2018. Born two weeks apart, the boy and girl have very similar nap and mealtime routines already established. As the children are beginning to really explore the world around them we would like a nanny who takes an active interest in child development and enrichment through day trips, attending playgroups and meeting up with other nannies.


We are seeking someone to support our two families not just in basic childcare, but are also looking for a nanny to take the initiative and can respond positively to suggestions, communicate openly, and will create an environment for our children to develop further and thrive.


We believe the focus of the nanny should be on the children's needs, their enjoyment and their physical and mental development. Meals will typically be prepared in advance though the nanny may be required to do simple meal preparation (omelets, porridge, pasta etc.). No light housework is required for this role.


The two sets of parents can be flexible with start / finish times, however we are looking for a minimum of 8 hours per day. The role will start at 1 day per week with the view to increase this to 2 days per week by March. A small monthly budget will be provided for all outings.


Required

- Up to date infant first aid training

- Up to date criminal background check

- At least 2 references contactable by phone

- Comfortable with routine based parenting style and CIO sleep training methods

- Interest in child development

- Practiced at giving medication

- Experience with nanny share / caring for multiple children


Desirable

- Nursery background or child development courses / training

- Second language

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
