Full time Mother’s help nanny role near Old Alresford, SO24.

This family is looking for a fixed‑term Mother’s help nanny to support their 3‑year‑old son and newborn baby. The hours are 8:00 am – 7:00 pm, four days a week (between Monday and Friday), with days scheduled based on the father’s rota. The role can also be arranged as a split shift if desired, and although it is a shared care position, the nanny must be able to work alone and take sole charge of one or both children when required.

The ideal nanny will be kind, fun and positive, with a \"muck‑in\" attitude and a willingness to work alongside mum. Excellent newborn‑baby experience and current knowledge of best‑practice guidelines are essential. Acting proactively and organised, the nanny will help entertain and plan fun activities during school holidays (e.g. football, park trips or home games) while also providing extra support for the young baby.
