Family PA/Nanny in Batcombe, Somerset

This relaxed but busy household are looking for a fun, active and positive person to help them in the running of their home. The family have three children, twins of 9 years and an 11 year old.

Your duties will be all child related, such as school pick ups, laundry, preparing tea, ensuring their school bags are ready for the next day, admin for the children, and organising doctor/dentist appointments. It is essential that you are a competent cook as it is important to the parents that the children are provided with healthy balanced meals and cooking a variety of recipes and cuisines would be great. Both parents work from home and away in London, so someone who is happy to be flexible if they are back late or to do the occasional overnight stay is needed. Your hours in term time will be 1.30-7.30pm, Monday-Friday, and in the school holidays, there could be additional hours or your hours worked over fewer days some weeks, but the family are looking for flexibility to ensure the smooth running of the home.

The children all attend the same school (15 minute drive away) and as they have a long school day, they are generally tired on their return. The 9 year old boy loves his football, so someone who is happy to kick a ball with him would be advantageous. The two girls enjoy arts and crafts, but it is important that they spend time outdoors and in the summer enjoy a picnic in the garden or going for a walk. They do have a small dog that enjoys going with them too! They live in a beautiful Georgian house with beautiful gardens.

This is a permanent position.
