Nanny/Housekeeper

This position differs from the role of nanny in that work is carried out for all the family and not just for the child/children.

Usual duties include: general house cleaning, family laundry, some cooking meals and may or may not include some help with entertaining (i.e. serving, cooking/preparing for dinner parties). If no cooking is required, some food preparation may be helpful.

In some cases, where a driver is requested, errand running, shopping and school runs would be included.

In addition, some babysitting can often be required. A Nanny/Housekeeper position can either be a live- out or live- in post, although the latter is more usual.

Live-in / Daily  Housekeepers

A good and reliable live-in Housekeeper will always be in demand. The position generally involves the preparation of family meals and occasional dinner parties and often requires a willingness to assist with children. Above all the role demands a flexible and willing person who adopts a 'hands on' approach, coupled with a positive and professional attitude. Occasionally, the Housekeeper may be responsible for the care of expensive furniture, antiques or clothing. Excellent references confirming competence and capabilities will be required.

A daily Housekeeper can either be full-time or part-time and visits the household daily. Duties would usually entail general household cleaning and in some cases may include undertaking laundry and ironing. Other duties may include some food preparation, errand running ,dog walking and pet feeding. Where the employer is not always in residence, a Daily Housekeeper may be entrusted with keys for access and to deal with any emergencies.
