Our amazing nanny Lucy is heading back home to Scotland in June, and while we’ll miss her hugely, we’re looking for someone just as kind, capable, and down-to-earth to join our family long-term.
We’ve got three awesome kids and a busy household, and we’re looking for a nanny/family assistant who’s practical, warm, and great with kids.
The Role – What We Need Help With:
Monday to Thursday, 2.30pm–7.30/8pm
Occasional Fridays during the day
Extra hours/full days during school holidays
You’ll be supporting us during the after-school stretch and helping keep the house ticking along. That includes:
School pickups (you’ll need a full licence – we provide the car)
Hanging with the kids after school – playing, helping with homework, and taking them to activities
Helping getting dinner sorted and school lunches packed - need to be competent in the kitchen.
Light household duties – tidying kids’ rooms, laundry, changing bed sheets, grocery shopping and keeping them pantry full
> (We’ve got a cleaner – so this is more about keeping the kids' stuff under control than doing deep cleans.)
You’ll be great for this role if you:
Genuinely enjoy being around kids and know how to connect with them
Speak fluent English – so you can help with homework and have easy chats with the kids
Are confident behind the wheel – driving is a must
Have some nanny or childcare experience, and can step into the flow of a family home
Why Us?
We’re a friendly, down-to-earth family who will treat you with respect and kindness. You’ll be part of the family – we’ve had great experiences with our nannies, and we want this to be a positive and enjoyable role for you too.
If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you! Please get in touch and tell us a bit about yourself and your experience.

Hi
I live in Brighton with my husband and 3 little kids. I have a 5yo girl, 3yo boy and 1.5 yo girl. Our last nanny/babysitter (who has been with us since our eldest was 1) has just moved home so we are currently looking for someone to help out with our family!
My husband works quite long hours and I am home full time the kids. I often need a bit of help throughout the week as he travels a lot!
So mostly looking for someone to come and play with them and keep them entertained - Eg going to the park, going for walks, playing at home, occasional cooking (kids meals), art and craft etc! The eldest two go to kindy on Tuesday Thursdays and Fridays so if available on either of those days it would just be looking after the youngest so I can duck out do some food shopping / errands etc.
We are also definitely looking for night time weekend work too
I’m very flexible as I’m not working at the moment so can do just a few hours, half days / longer days etc
Our nanny would also travel a lot with us to help out on holidays and or house sit while we go away if that is something you're interested in
Happy to answer any further questions!

Seeking babysitter for weeknight evenings, if you can also do a few Saturday mornings that'd be wonderful but not essential. Somewhat flexible on days/hours.

How are you ?!
I am looking for a babysitter who can really engage with my kids who are 5 and 8.
They have vastly different personalities so you need to be able to speak with them and engage with them differently , creatively and compassionately and sometimes be a mediator ! It will really come down to how well you can interact with them and really how much they gravitate towards you.
Everything else that I would require is the standard police check , wwc , driving , responsibility and safety etc etc !
At the moment it is casual work moving into the holidays and then it’ll be regular !
Look forward to chatting if you’re free, available and willing to!
