Daily Housekeeper/nanny for Domestic House

**Family Description and Location**

A lovely Busy British family are looking to replace their long-term housekeeper after 20 years. The family have 3 children aged 2, 17 & 15 (The two older children are at boarding school) Dad and Mum are both very busy and in and out of the house. Mum is very hands on with the 2-year-old, but you will need to be child friendly. They also have 3 dogs a collie, mixed breed, and a Chihuahua. They live in a 6-bedroom house over 3 floors which is very modern and easy to maintain. They live near Barnes Railway station which is a 10-minute bus ride from Putney Bridge or a 20-minute bus ride from Hammersmith station. There is parking at the property if you drive. The family spend 50% of their time in the countryside so you will have periods of quiet where there the is no one in the house for long periods of time and then periods where the house is full.

Your role will be to keep the house running smoothly and keep the house maintained to a high standard.
- General housekeeping including cleaning, mopping, ironing, dusting, and hoovering.
- Laundry - Including ironing, washing, folding, sorting, and putting away.
- Simple family style food preparation (easy to follow recipes) such as fish pie, lasagne, soups etc (there is no formal or dinner party cooking as Mum loves to cook)
- You need to be child friendly and may have to babysit if Mum has to pop out.
- Letting in plumbers and other maintenance people
- Doing errands for the house such as trips to the dry cleaners etc
- Online orders for shopping etc
- You will need to be dog friendly but there is no day-to-day pet care.
- Deep cleaning of bathrooms and kitchen etc during quiet periods when family are away.
- Anything else needed to keep the house running smoothly.

It is essential that you are an experienced housekeeper who can organise your own time and manage your own day as you will be alone for long periods of time and then have a full house and will need to prioritise your tasks accordingly. You will need to speak good English, be child and pet friendly and be prepared to cook simple food when required. You will need to have good checkable references and have worked in a similar setting.
