Louise, is looking for a child-carer - CB21 West wickham

Nanny to provide cover for 2 children starting Feb/March ideally: we are away in states from March 30th – April 19th so if they start in Mid Feb they get that all that time off as paid.

Children details:
• Matilda and Sebastian .
• Sebastian aged 11 - (currently in year 6)
• Matilda aged 7 – (in year 2)
• Both go to independent preparatory school St faiths – CB2 8AG on Trumpington road – (5-13 years old)

Core hours

1) Full time ideally - (35-45 hours per week)

During term time - 12- 6.30/7pm = 32.5 - 35 hours a week
School holidays - 5 days a week: 8.30 -5.30pm = 45 hours a week (Easter, summer holidays and half term)

2) Part-time (17.5 - 32 hours)
Term time - 17.5-20 hours (3pm -6.30/7pm)
School holidays: 4 days a week: 8.30 -4.30pm average of hours per week

Bonus point: We tend to take 3 annual holidays per year 3-4 weeks (15 -20 days minimum) plus Christmas 10 days. Our current nanny gets 20-25 days holiday without their 2 week allowance being taken into consideration so they will be able to take 30-35 days holiday realistically.
