Part time Nanny needed in Folkestone

We're a friendly family based in central Folkestone, looking for a reliable, kind and proactive part-time nanny to help care for our 5-year-old. Our current nanny is moving on soon, so we're hoping to find someone who can step in and become a steady, supportive part of our routine.

* Predominantly wrap around care and occasional overnight stays (spare bedroom equipped for candidate)
* Exact start date is flexible – happy to offer a handover from myself and current nanny/ support during the transitional period before official start date

About Us:

* One child, aged 5 – sociable, fun and used to being around nannies
* No pets, non-smoking/drinking home
* Home is centrally located with easy access by car, train or bus

What We're Looking For:

* Reliable, caring and efficient individual
* Someone aged 21+

Must have:

* Enhanced DBS (either on the update system or willing to get a new one prior to job offer)
* Up to Date Paediatric First Aid
* Public Liability Insurance
* MINIMUM of Level 3 NVQ in childcare or Degree Educated in relation to education or childcare
