We are looking for a reliable, responsible, organised, energetic, imaginative, and communicative person to work with one, two and sometimes all three of our boys (ages 6, 4 and 2) and help with the household. The assignment is ongoing, for school pick ups every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon – 3 – 6pm (for the two older boys) plus approx 3-4 hours on a Monday afternoon (for the youngest). There may also be additional ad hoc help needed if you have the availability. The position is to start as soon as possible.

We live in Central Cambridge and are looking for someone who is local and who will live out. The position could suit the following types of individual: a qualified childcare professional, a person with extensive experience of raising children whose children have now grown up, a gap year student / graduate who loves children and has some experience of looking after children (e.g. guides, holiday clubs, etc).

You must be fluent in English. You will need to be proactive and creative in providing a timetable of activities for entertaining / educationally stimulating the boys. Example activities include making models, building train sets / lego, reading, drawing, baking, writing, trips to the library, the park, and playground – anything to keep them away from the TV. It will not be necessary to have a car or drive. You will need to help with light household chores, such as preparing food, clearing up, tidying up the kitchen, rooms and toys.

If you meet the above criteria, please reply to this advert with a CV plus any additional information about your experience and salary expectations. We will also need two checkable references (an employer / teaching professional, and one character reference from someone professional who has known you for five years minimum). Checks will be necessary. Pay will be commensurate with suitability and experience. You will need to be available for interview and provide proof of identity and nationality. We will only contact you if we wish to interview you.
