About the Family
A warm and welcoming family based in Cookham Dean are looking for a reliable and proactive Mother's Help to support them with the smooth running of their busy home. They live in a six-bedroom house and have a cleaner, so this role is centred around family support rather than deep cleaning. This is a varied position, ideal for someone who enjoys helping wherever needed and is looking to become a valued part of a family's routine.
The Role
Your afternoons will be spent helping keep the household running smoothly. This will include supporting with school pick-ups and the children's after-school routine, preparing a healthy family-style evening meal, keeping on top of family laundry and general household organisation, and providing practical day-to-day support wherever needed. There may also be occasional pet care, including dog walking, for someone who is happy around animals.
During the school holidays, there is the opportunity to work additional hours, with occasional daytime care for the family's three children, aged 10, 8 and 5. The family are looking for someone for a minimum of 16 hours per week, but would be delighted to offer additional hours to the right person if they are looking for a larger role.
Ideal Candidate:
- Previous experience in a private household, childcare or family support role
- A confident cook who enjoys preparing simple, family-style meals
- A confident driver with your own vehicle
- Organised, proactive and happy to turn their hand to a variety of household tasks
- A warm trustworthy person who enjoys supporting busy families
- Comfortable around dogs and happy to assist with occasional pet care
