NLN 1056 P/T Weekend Housekeeper
London, NW11
£ Negotiable
This family is looking for a part time weekend housekeeper, to work ½ day on Saturday (approx. 1 or 2pm-8pm), and a full day on Sunday.
They say: “We currently have two housekeepers; both ladies from the Philippines. One works 5 ½ days per week and has been with the family for over 10 years, and the other works 2 days per week and has been with the family for a 3-4 years. We are very happy with them both, and we would love to have another lady to work on the 1 ½ days that the long-term housekeeper is unable to work.”
There are 5 bedrooms, and 7 bathrooms in the house, and also a gym, a swimming pool, cinema room and a large playroom downstairs.
The swimming pool area may be used over the weekend but just basic organising can be done here – collecting of towels, putting them in the laundry, perhaps mopping if the floor surrounding the pool area is wet etc. (The other weekday housekeeper tends to focus on thoroughly cleaning the area during the week).
The main areas of responsibility for you over the Saturday afternoon and Sunday full day would be those ground floor areas which are frequented by the family, the Parents’ bathroom and bedroom, and then lending a hand wherever Mum may need on the day — i.e. helping with cooking and preparing food if relatives and friends are coming to the house, setting the table neatly, and presenting the food nicely etc.

Weekend Nanny – Permanent Position
7AM to 8PM every Saturday and Sunday
NW11.
£498 – £552 gross (approx) per weekend / equates to £364 -£390 net (approx)
(£14-15 net per hour, possibly negotiable for exceptional candidate).
The family has 4 children at home; a Boy aged 4, twin boys aged 7 (will be 8 in November), and a girl aged 9. Dad also has another daughter, aged 13, but she does not live with the family. She occasionally comes to the house on the weekends, and stays over but she is self sufficient and often helps with the children too. Mum is hands on, so the role would be predominantly shared, but the nanny will be able to manage the children in a sole charge capacity also.
Mum is looking for a nanny who is available to support her on weekends (and can be on other occasions too, with babysitting and ad-hoc travel, if desired and/or possible).
The home is located in Golder’s Green/Hampstead Garden Suburb area (NW11) with the nearest tube being Golders Green.
The family are looking for a highly competent and hands on nanny, who is able to use their initiative and get things done efficiently and in keeping with the family’s standards.
Fluency in both written and spoken English are a must, given that the nanny may be helping mum to get the children to complete their school homework to a high standard.
The ideal candidate will be a well-rounded individual – someone who is confident, intelligent, flexible, highly organised, pays attention to detail, can multi-task, think and plan ahead, is tidy, patient, firm but kind, calm, warm and friendly would suit the family very well.
Duties include, but are not limited to, general nursery duties, keeping the home areas where the children play tidy and organised, cooking healthy and varied meals, mentally stimulating the children through creative play and/or fun activities.
A driver would be a bonus, but is not essential for the weekend nanny role.
You would also need to be “Pet-Friendly” — the family has a dog, (a beagle), a siamese cat, two guinea-pigs and a hamster.
There are no dog walking duties required but animal feeding would be.
The home is fully staffed with two nannies who work during the week, housekeepers, a part-time maintenance man, and a PA.
Please note: The family also travels extensively during the school holidays, and they would be very happy if the nanny would join them if this is something of interest. IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT for the weekend nanny, but it is definitely an option available to the nanny if she so desires.

Laundry and simple cooking for Mum and the Children would be part of your duties.
The children will need you to take them to, and collect from, school, as well as having general play time.

Mum says: “We are a family of 5. We are friendly and down to earth. We occasionally have family / friends visit and stay with us. We are neat and organised and enjoy a tidy home. The house is very busy in the morning as the children get ready to head to school and very busy from 4pm when they come home, and it’s a juggle to get dinner, homework, bath, reading etc. going – so you need to be ready for a little hustle and bustle…..We are not a formal household and would love someone who is eager to help and “put their hand up”.
