A warm, welcoming family in London is looking for a kind, organised and dependable person for a flexible hybrid role: after-school care for our five-year-old son, combined with household support and home organisation. We're relaxed about the job title — the position sits somewhere between a house manager/household assistant and a nanny — and we're hoping to find one brilliant person who genuinely enjoys both sides.
Hours & Pay
- Full-time, Monday to Friday — around 40 hours per week (for example 8am–4pm or 9am–5pm, agreed together), covering the school run at each end of the day with household work in between.
- £18–£22 per hour gross, depending on experience (roughly £37,400–£45,800 per year gross at 40 hours/week).
- Permanent, live-out position. An immediate start would be ideal.
The Childcare Side (the heart of the role)
This is more school runs and hands-on childminding than a full career-nanny position:
- Walking our son to school in the mornings and collecting him in the afternoons.
- Accompanying him to after-school clubs and activities, and staying with him into the early evening.
- Providing engaged, energetic daytime care during school holidays.
- Confident sole charge is essential — we'll be away for two weeks in mid-August, when you'd be the main adult looking after him at home.
The Household Side
We've recently moved and are mid-renovation, so during term-time school hours (and quieter moments in the holidays) there's plenty to sink your teeth into:
- Unpacking and setting up rooms.
- Organising the kitchen, wardrobes and basement.
- Shelving books, filing paperwork and light home admin/PA tasks.
- Being a calm, trusted, consistent presence — we'd much rather have one great person than a rotating cast of helpers.
About You
- Genuine childcare experience with school-age children. Formal nanny qualifications are welcome but not required — warmth, reliability and good judgement matter far more to us.
- An enhanced DBS check and excellent, verifiable references (or a willingness to obtain them).
- Naturally organised and proactive, happy switching between childcare and household tasks in the same day.
- Living in or near London, within comfortable reach for daily school runs.
- The right to work in the UK.
How the Role Develops
With the school holidays in full swing, the first few weeks will blend childcare with home organisation. From September, the day settles into a steady full-time rhythm: the morning school run, household management and PA duties during school hours, then pick-up and after-school care into the early evening. This is a permanent, long-term role for the right person.
