Nanny-Housekeeper
A wonderful opportunity has arisen for an experienced and proactive Housekeeper/Nanny to join a warm and welcoming family in their beautiful home in Virginia Water. This is primarily a housekeeping position, with only light childcare support required before and after school, making it ideal for a candidate who genuinely enjoys maintaining a home to a high standard whilst being comfortable around children.
The family currently employs two other household staff members who work on different days, and they are seeking a reliable and organised individual who can work independently, take initiative, and take pride in keeping the home clean, organised, and running smoothly. The childcare element of the role is minimal and will primarily involve helping the children with breakfast, encouraging them to get ready for school, and preparing snacks or simple hot meals after school.
The successful candidate will be warm, professional, and discreet, with previous experience working within private households. Strong housekeeping, laundry, and organisational skills are essential, as the role will be heavily focused on maintaining the home to an excellent standard. The family is looking for someone who can seamlessly become part of their household and who takes ownership of their responsibilities without requiring supervision.
Working Monday to Friday, with a 40-hour working week from 10:00 am–6:00 pm, although these are likely to change to 8:00 am–4:00 pm from September onwards. This is a live-out position offering a fantastic long-term opportunity within a respectful and appreciative family environment. A driving license would be preferred.
