Medical Nanny – Guildford.

Location: GU7, Guildford
Schedule: Monday & Tuesday, 8am - 5pm
Start: January 2026
Children: 4 years old
Salary: Competitive, based on experience

A family in Guildford is seeking a warm, confident and experienced medical nanny to care for their bright and resilient 4-year-old son. He is funny, cheeky, affectionate and curious, with a love of books, cars, and spending time outdoors. Despite having experienced extensive medical intervention from a young age, he remains determined, eager to learn and full of personality.

He has complex medical needs and can fatigue easily. While he has some limitations in physical ability, he is resourceful and finds his own way of mastering most tasks. Due to previous medical trauma, transitions can be challenging; he responds best to gentle reassurance, clear instructions and a calm, predictable approach. He attends nursery when he is well enough, and care hours will be structured around this. The family currently employs a shared nanny, but due to limited availability they are now seeking dedicated part-time support.

Please note, the family require support with overnight and holiday cover regularly.
