  • Role: PT Live-in Nanny/Proxy Parent (approx. 34 hours/week)

  • Hours: Tuesday am to Wednesday pm
  • Location: SW Wiltshire (Salisbury/Shaftesbury)
  • Charges: 3 children; 10, 7 & 5 years
  • Salary: Excellent salary offered
  • Special requirements: Confident country driver

We have a truly super opportunity for an experienced, professional and super-fun and upbeat, sole charge, Nanny/Proxy Carer to support returning clients with their 3 children (7, 4 & 2 years). This role is replace our long-standing nanny who has been with the family for a number of years and highly recommends this role. An ASAP spring start.

  • The working hours will be 09.00 Tuesday - 19.00 Wednesday (effectively 34 hours per week) and accommodation is supplied when on duty.

Our clients are a fun, relaxed and loving family living rurally in South West Wiltshire (between Salisbury & Shaftesbury), they have 3 children; B10, B7 & G5 years. A few miles from the 303, this role would be best suited to someone who is in Wiltshire, north Dorset, west Hampshire, or the east Somerset locale.

Our clients run their own business and work in London from on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, hence their requirement for Nanny/Proxy Parent from 09.00 on a Tuesday morning until they get home about 19.00 on a Wednesday evening.

Our clients are keen to stress that having three children means they are a very busy, fun, boisterous household! Since this is primarily a proxy parenting role the family's key objective is to recruit a new nanny who is supremely organised and efficient as you will managing the daily running of the house for the 34 hours that the parents are away. School runs, keeping on top of homework and what kit is needed for when etc. liaising with the school, being passionate about cooking fresh & healthy meals to sustain active children. The children are at school in nearby Shaftesbury (approx. a 30 minute drive), so the nanny should be an extremely confident town & country driver, with a full, clean driver's licence.

Although it is a bit of an alternative set up, the family has been doing this routine for a number of years and it works incredibly well for them all and the children are very comfortable with this routine. But when they are home the parents enjoy being able to focus completely on their children and family time is really important for them so they don’t need to take their nanny on holiday. By arrangement there maybe the odd week of full time proxy required, and any additional hours would be agreed well in advance and paid extra. Most important to our clients though is someone who loves children, is kind, loving and fun and can have a wonderful time with their children and make special and happy memories. The family's outgoing nanny highly recommends this family and position.

The family home is a large property, situated very rurally, with animals (incl. dogs, horses & chickens) so the new nanny must enjoy the country lifestyle and be OK with pets and animals, and if the nanny is a horse rider, this would be a bonus!

Great salary offered. Interviews are now taking place for an ASAP spring start, and we would be absolutely delighted to chat through further details, so do please call us: 0207 610 9218 or email your fully up to date CV and references to info@nanniesofstjames.com
