The family value warmth, trust and open communication and are looking for someone who will become a valued and trusted part of their household.

Children: The role involves caring for two happy, active and inquisitive children aged 4 and 5 years, both of whom attend school.

Core Duties: Responsibilities will include preparing nutritious evening meals for the children, light housekeeping including family laundry, changing bed linen and general tidying, school pick-ups, supporting reading and homework as required, organising engaging indoor and outdoor activities, and arranging fun outings and playdates during the school holidays where appropriate.

Hours of Work: Monday and Tuesday, 1:00pm–5:00pm during term time (8 guaranteed hours per week), with additional hours potentially available during the school holidays.

Start Date: Flexible between 1st and 21st September 2026.
