Home-Support
A warm and down-to-earth family of four are looking for a reliable, caring and experienced family support person to help keep their home running smoothly during the week. This is a unique household setup, where the children’s grandparents are the primary caregivers. The family value kindness, respect, and a relaxed but responsible approach to the home environment.
The role would be perfect for someone who has previously worked as a housekeeper or in a similar support role, and who genuinely enjoys being an integral part of everyday family life.

Light meal preparation or food prep when time allows
This role focuses on creating a calm, organised, and supportive home environment for the grandparents and the two boys (aged 6 and 7) who are at school during these hours.
