This is a varied position with a mix of hands-on childcare and supervision of an 11-year-old boy, family support, PA duties, and coordination tasks. You will be taking over from a Manny/PA who has been with the family for five years.
With a broad range of responsibilities, you will manage your own day, breaks, and schedule to ensure the household runs smoothly. The ideal candidate will have professional experience working with older children, be highly organised, proactive, resourceful, and extremely flexible.

Based in a beautiful rural location on the outskirts of Henley, this is a fantastic opportunity to work in a busy, varied role within an informal, welcoming household.
The family’s pets are a significant part of the household, so this is an ideal role for an animal lover. Candidates with their own calm, well-behaved dog may be considered. The family is also open to applications from couples, as long as one person has strong childcare experience with older children.
Accommodation is provided in a private one-bedroom cottage on the estate, complete with a self-contained kitchen and bathroom.
