Children: The children are bright, curious, and affectionate, with lovely temperaments and a close sibling bond. Their daughter has lots of energy and enjoys reading, swimming, singing, crafts, imaginative play, and board games. Their son is sociable, cheeky, and cuddly, and enjoys water play, puzzles, books, drawing and imaginative play with animals and cars. Both children love being outdoors, spending time in the garden and engaging in creative, sensory, hands-on activities.

The role will primarily involve sole charge care of the youngest child during the day whilst the eldest attends school, attentive care is required for both children simultaneously after school and during school holidays.
