They are looking for a nanny‑housekeeper / family assistant as the children will be at nursery and school during the day and they would like a nanny who does not mind getting on with other tasks when the children are not around.

• All light housekeeping duties. Apart from taking care of the children they have experience doing light housekeeping: cooking for the family or kids, keeping the house tidy, ironing or vacuuming, doing laundry if necessary and cleaning the bathrooms, wiping dust etc. Well need help around the house because the children don’t occupy all of the working hours but the main cleaning is done by a cleaner. It is a matter of mindset and willingness to help with other tasks rather than the main function.
