Our busy and active family based in Freshwater is seeking a warm, energetic and highly organised nanny to support his three school-aged children. This is a long-term opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys becoming part of family life and is confident with a busy household routine.

The children have active schedules involving sport, tutoring, drama, debating and other extracurricular activities, so the family is looking for someone who can confidently manage moving parts, think ahead and keep afternoons running smoothly. Dad works long hours but is very hands-on with the children and takes a team approach at home. He is looking for a nanny he can trust to work autonomously rather than someone who needs to check in on every decision.

The ideal nanny will be warm, kind, high-energy and proactive – someone who gets involved rather than simply supervises and who can become a trusted mentor and supportive presence in the children’s lives. Experience is valued, but personality, attitude and genuine enthusiasm for the children are particularly important to this family.

The family values positive encouragement, clear boundaries and respectful behaviour guidance. Above all, Dad is looking for someone with positive energy who genuinely connects with the children. In return, they offer trust, autonomy, open communication and flexibility in both directions.

• School pick-ups and managing afternoon routines

• Light household duties, general tidying and keeping shared spaces organised
• Running occasional child/family-related errands
• Encouraging age-appropriate independence and responsibility
• Providing calm, consistent and positive behaviour guidance
