We are looking for a kind, reliable and energetic babysitter/nanny to help care for our three children (ages 10, 8 and 6) after school in Brighton.

The role is approximately 3 hours per afternoon, Monday to Friday, and would suit someone who enjoys spending time with school-aged children. Duties include school pick-up, taking the children to after-school activities, helping with homework/readers when needed, preparing a simple afternoon snack or meal, and keeping the children’s spaces tidy.

We are looking for someone responsible, engaging and organised who can become a trusted part of our family’s routine. A driver’s licence and reliable car are required.

Experience with children is preferred, but the most important qualities are reliability, warmth and a genuine enjoyment of caring for kids.

We’re looking for a warm, experienced and nurturing nanny to care for our son Xavier, who turns 2 at the end of November, for three regular weekdays each week at our home in Cheltenham.

We’re hoping to find someone long term who can become a familiar, trusted and important person in his life. Xavier is a happy, affectionate and curious little boy who loves exploring, reading, playing and being outdoors.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with toddlers and is happy to plan simple age-appropriate activities, read together, play on the floor, go for walks, and support his development through everyday play and connection.

A calm, responsive and affectionate approach is very important to us. We follow an attachment-based parenting style and want someone who is comfortable offering reassurance, closeness and comfort when Xavier is upset, rather than leaving him to cry.

We’re a vegan household, so we’d also love someone who is comfortable preparing (not a must) and serving simple plant-based meals and snacks for him.

Ideally, you will have:
• Strong experience caring for children aged 1–3
• Current Working With Children Check
• Current paediatric First Aid and CPR
• Recent references from families
• A calm, patient and reliable nature
• Driver’s licence
• Non-smoker

We’re looking for a warm, reliable and organised family helper for our two children (4 and 1), Tuesdays and Fridays. Days flexible for right person.

7–9am: Take over the morning routine — breakfast, dressing and getting ready — then drive to nearby kinder/childcare (both within 5 mins). Lunches and bags will be ready. Optional 30-min dog walk after drop-off for extra hours.

3:30–6pm: Pick up the kids, home for snack and play, bath our 1-year-old and serve pre-made dinner.

Must have own car, driver’s licence, references, experience with young children and be comfortable with dogs.

10 hours/week, with option for 11 hours including dog walking.

We have a nanny position available at our house. We have three beautiful kids who are 5, 9 and 13. We have a wonderful, much-loved nanny who is (very sadly for us) moving away. We are happy to put you in touch with her for our reference.

We are a very lovely family, focused on supporting our kids to grow into great human beings. However life is very chaotic (we also have 2 overly-friendly dogs and three chickens). We are a busy household with two parents who work long hours in very stressful jobs. So the nanny role is extremely important to us - it’s a huge factor in whether our family is happy and functional.

We are looking for someone to work mornings and evenings M/T/W (7.30 - 9.30, then 3 - 6pm) and then a full day (7.30 - 6pm) on a Thursday. The role is mainly caring for children, with some cooking, cleaning, laundry, house support, etc. You would be properly employed, with super, annual leave, etc.

Please let us know if you’d like to learn more. :)
