Hello, and thank you so much for looking at our profile!

My name is Ellenie and I’m a (soon to be divorced) 35 year old mum to two young children. My son, Ayden is 3 years old, and my daughter, Ariella, is 1 year old. I am currently a stay at home mum, but am a corporate lawyer by profession.

We are looking for somebody positive, warm-hearted and kind, who is looking to be part of family life. It is important to me that you enjoy spending time playing with the kids and that you are willing to give them a lot of love! (They are easy to love, I promise)!

As I’m not currently working, I will be around the majority of the time … I’m just looking to find someone to share the load with me! I would like to find someone who is able to use their own initiative to work out what light housekeeping is required, but it should generally only involve tidying up after meals/ tidying up toys through the day, loading / unloading dishwasher, helping with the laundry, wiping the kitchen sides etc.

We live in a comfortable house with a large garden. There is both a family living space (attached to the kitchen), plus a separate living room, so there is enough space to have privacy outside of your bedroom when desired.

Your bedroom is bright and spacious, with lots of storage space and an en-suite bathroom. If you would like, I can get a TV for your room so you can relax there should you wish.

We live 10 minutes drive from Cheshunt station, which provides direct access to various London stations (including London Liverpool Street, Stratford and Tottenham Hale) in under 25 minutes, and a ten minute drive from Cuffley station, which provides direct access to Hertford, St Albans, Stevenage and Moorgate (London). The house is in a gated development down a country lane, but is within walking distance of various bus stops.

The local market towns of Loughton, Hertford and Ware are lovely towns to spend time in, with plenty of coffee shops and restaurants. Epping Forest is close by, which is beautiful.

I would be grateful if all applicants could ensure they comply with the visa requirements included in the job description, thank you so much.

We look forward to speaking with you!

Ellenie, Ayden and Ariella xx

Opis pracy

I would generally like help with childcare and keeping the house clean and tidy (I have cleaners who do a proper clean once or twice a week, so it would just be light maintenance).

Specific duties:

- Waking with the children in the morning and taking them downstairs for their breakfast, clearing up afterwards, getting the children washed, dressed, and generally ready for the day, doing children's laundry (approx 3 hours, 5 days a week)

- Taking care of one or both children whilst I exercise at home (1 hour, 2 days a week)

- During school term time, taking care of Ariella whilst I run Ayden to and from pre-school (<1 hour, 3 days a week)

- Taking care of one or both children whilst I run errands (up to 2 or 3 hours at a time, 1 or 2 days a week)

- Helping put away groceries (15 mins once a week)

- Cooking, serving and clearing up after children's dinner. If you enjoy cooking this can be fresh meals of your choosing, but if you prefer I can pre-prepare meals for you to heat up for them instead. (<1 hour, 5 days a week)

- Bathing children each day and helping me with bedtime. Generally this will mean that each of us put one child to bed each night. (<45 mins, 5 days a week)

- Babysitting once or twice a week (4-6 hours, 2 days a week but please note both children will be asleep, so you'd be free to relax at home as you wish for the vast majority of this time).

On the days during the week when both children are at home I usually take them out to do an activity during the day - going to a zoo, going trampolining etc, which you'd be welcome to join if you would like to, but there is no pressure at all to do so. (Please note I wouldn't propose these times be included in your weekly hours total, as they're generally fun days out. I would of course pay for the cost of any tickets / lunch / coffees etc incurred for you on these days).

Please note that all applicants should either:

1. Have the right to live and work in the UK (i.e. as a UK national or by virtue of settled or pre-settled status); or

2. Be able and willing to obtain: (i) a short-term study visa, (ii) a student visa, or (iii) a youth mobility visa - in all cases to be in place prior to joining us.

Please see the links below to the gov.uk website, which provide extensive visa guidance.

Should you decide to go down the study/student visa route, the local college is Hertford Regional College (also linked below) which offers various English as a foreign language courses, as well as lots of other course options.

Please also note that I am only able to help with travel expenses incurred once you arrive in the UK.
