This family got in touch with Arthur’s House as they are looking to find a responsible, caring and kind nanny to join their household. Having worked with the same nanny for the last 5 years, now the girls are older and attending school, they are looking for someone who is willing to work blended hours through the year. The focus for this family is on finding someone who can replicate the care, affection and attention their previous nanny has given to their daughters who are wonderful, loving young people. If you’re looking for something long term and for a family you can stay with for the long term, this could well be your next dream job!
