About the role
Freedom Care is looking for a kind, caring and bubbly nanny to support a family with their six-month-old baby in New Milton.
This is a long-term opportunity to build a trusting relationship and grow with the family. You will provide attentive care, follow the baby’s established routine and encourage their development through age-appropriate play.
The parents work from home, and there is an elderly dog in the household, so you should be comfortable working alongside parents and around pets.
Hours required
- Monday, Thursday and Friday.
- Initially 9 hours per week.
- Proposed hours are 12pm–3pm, although the family is flexible and has also expressed a preference for evenings. The final working pattern will be agreed with the successful applicant.
- Additional hours are expected to become available as the nanny settles into the role.
Your responsibilities
- Provide warm, responsive care, keeping the baby safe, comfortable and content.
- Follow the family’s routines for feeding, sleep and daily care.
- Prepare and give feeds, monitoring and sharing relevant information with the parents.
- Support weaning in partnership with the family when appropriate.
- Plan age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and development.
- Attend to nappy changes, hygiene and other personal care needs.
- Keep the baby’s play areas and feeding equipment clean and tidy.
- Communicate openly with the parents and respect the family’s household arrangements.
About you
- A kind, patient and reliable person who enjoys caring for babies.
- Relevant hands-on experience with babies, whether through nannying, other childcare roles or raising your own children.
- An understanding of infant development, safe sleep, feeding and weaning.
- Comfortable with the practical aspects of baby care, including floor-based play and lifting and carrying a baby.
- Able to build positive relationships and work respectfully with parents who are at home.
- A full driving licence and access to a vehicle.
Formal childcare qualifications are welcomed but are not essential if you have substantial relevant experience.
What we offer
- £16 per hour.
- A long-term role with the opportunity to grow alongside the family.
- Flexibility around the agreed working hours.
- Scope for additional hours as the role develops.
- Additional payment for agreed travel undertaken with the child.
