About the role

Freedom Care is looking for a kind, caring and bubbly nanny to support a family with their six-month-old baby in New Milton.

This is a long-term opportunity to build a trusting relationship and grow with the family. You will provide attentive care, follow the baby’s established routine and encourage their development through age-appropriate play.

The parents work from home, and there is an elderly dog in the household, so you should be comfortable working alongside parents and around pets.

Hours required

• Monday, Thursday and Friday.


• Initially 9 hours per week.


• Proposed hours are 12pm–3pm, although the family is flexible and has also expressed a preference for evenings. The final working pattern will be agreed with the successful applicant.


• Additional hours are expected to become available as the nanny settles into the role.

Your responsibilities

• Provide warm, responsive care, keeping the baby safe, comfortable and content.


• Follow the family’s routines for feeding, sleep and daily care.


• Prepare and give feeds, monitoring and sharing relevant information with the parents.


• Support weaning in partnership with the family when appropriate.


• Plan age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and development.


• Attend to nappy changes, hygiene and other personal care needs.


• Keep the baby’s play areas and feeding equipment clean and tidy.


• Communicate openly with the parents and respect the family’s household arrangements.

About you

• A kind, patient and reliable person who enjoys caring for babies.


• Relevant hands-on experience with babies, whether through nannying, other childcare roles or raising your own children.


• An understanding of infant development, safe sleep, feeding and weaning.


• Comfortable with the practical aspects of baby care, including floor-based play and lifting and carrying a baby.


• Able to build positive relationships and work respectfully with parents who are at home.


• A full driving licence and access to a vehicle.

Formal childcare qualifications are welcomed but are not essential if you have substantial relevant experience. 

What we offer

• £16 per hour.


• A long-term role with the opportunity to grow alongside the family.


• Flexibility around the agreed working hours.


• Scope for additional hours as the role develops.


• Additional payment for agreed travel undertaken with the child.
