Our fun and outdoorsy family in Freshwater are seeking a nurturing, proactive, and positive mother's helper/nanny to care for their 7-month-old baby while supporting her exciting developmental journey.

The nanny will engage with the baby in creative, age-appropriate activities that foster her growth, all while ensuring her feeding and changing needs are met. The family also encourage the nanny to bring their own ideas for play and exploration, allowing the nanny to make a real impact in her early years.

The family dynamic includes Mum studying at home, and Dad working from home during some afternoons. While Mum will generally be around, she will often need uninterrupted time for study or run personal errands, and the nanny will need to step in and care/entertain their 7-month-old during those times.

In addition to caring for the 7-month-old, the nanny will assist with child-related duties, like baby laundry, meal prep, and tidying up baby play areas. The ideal candidate will also help with light housekeeping tasks such as vacuuming and organizing shared spaces. As part of the family, the nanny will also take care of a few light duties related to their indoor/outdoor cat, including offering affection, feeding, and topping up the automatic feeder when needed.

Our Freshwater family are committed to a positive and friendly work environment, where open communication and flexibility are key. The family believe in creating a space where their nanny feels valued and truly part of the family.
