Overview
A warm, busy and organised family based in Cobham, Surrey, is seeking an experienced Afternoon Nanny / Family Assistant to support the smooth running of family life during the busiest part of the day.
This is a supportive and well-organised household environment, and the family is looking for a proactive, energetic and highly organised weekday nanny to become an important part of their routine.
The role is centred around the children’s after-school schedules, club coordination, transport, family organisation and providing calm, capable support throughout the afternoons and early evenings. The children are older and independent in many ways, so the role is less about traditional nursery-style childcare and more about helping to keep a busy family life running smoothly and positively.
The role involves shared after-school responsibilities alongside mum, with both supporting the children’s busy schedules and activities.
The family is looking for someone warm, switched on, naturally organised and able to confidently manage changing schedules, school communications and busy extracurricular routines.

- Preparing simple evening meals and children’s suppers, including a Wednesday evening meal
- Supporting calm and positive evening routines
- Light household support related to the children and family organisation
- Providing reliable after-school support within a busy family home
Requirements
- Previous experience working within a private household as a nanny or family assistant
- Confident supporting older school-aged children and busy schedules
