Our client is seeking an experienced, professional and highly organised rota nanny/PA to join their warm and busy family, caring for two boys aged 5 and 9 years old. This is a sole charge position working alongside another rota nanny on a 4 days on/4 days off basis, 24/7 whilst on duty.
The family are looking for someone energetic, reliable and happy to muck in where needed, a true team player who can confidently juggle duties in a fast-paced household and become part of the family long-term.
