Housekeeper / Nanny – Pett Level Beach, Hastings

Hummingbird HomeStaff are looking for a reliable, organised and experienced Housekeeper / Nanny to support a lovely family living near Pett Level Beach, Hastings.

This is a varied role combining housekeeping, household organisation and childcare for a two-year-old child. The family is looking for someone proactive, flexible and happy to become a valued part of their household.

The role will initially focus on housekeeping and keeping the home organised. Duties will include general cleaning, tidying, household organisation and ensuring everything is kept in good order. The family does have a regular cleaner, so this is more about helping to keep on top of the household and maintaining an organised home rather than undertaking extensive deep cleaning.

Once the child has been collected from school, the focus will move to childcare. You will be responsible for keeping the child happy and engaged, planning age-appropriate activities, playing, supporting their daily routine and providing attentive, nurturing care.

There may also be occasions when the role involves more general administrative or personal assistant duties during the day, before school pick-up, depending on the family's requirements.

The family has two dogs, but there are no dog-care responsibilities as they have a regular dog walker.

Occasionally, the family may require the successful candidate to stay until approximately 10pm when Mum is working away from home. These occasions will always be discussed and arranged well in advance.

Position Details

Location: Pett Level Beach, Hastings
Days: Any two days per week
