Specialist Nanny for Family in New Forest, Hampshire, UK

We are recruiting a compassionate and proactive specialist nanny to support a wonderful family in the New Forest.

They are delightful children led by an incredibly inspirational mother who is now looking for an extra pair of hands, someone to share the load and also take some of the responsibility of ensuring that her children (when she needs some downtime) have the same level of care, love and guidance that she already provides. The children have experienced past trauma and a brain injury, and the role requires empathy, flexibility, and a collaborative spirit. An interest in Yoga, mindfulness and healthy eating would be an advantage.
