PERMANENT FULL-TIME LIVE-OUT NANNY HOUSEKEEPER
MILNGAVIE | SCOTLAND | GB
Salary: £31,000 - £36,000 gross per year
Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present an opportunity for a flexible, caring and proactive Nanny / Housekeeper to join a welcoming private family in Milngavie, Scotland. The family consists of two adults and four children under the age of 11. The family already benefits from the support of regular cleaners and is now looking for an additional pair of hands to assist with the general upkeep of the home while providing practical childcare support. The successful candidate will become a valued presence within the household, helping the mother with the children's daily routines and contributing to a well-organised family environment.
This is a full-time position for 30-35 hours based in a rural area, so a confident driver with their own car is essential. The role combines daytime housekeeping with afternoon childcare, including school collections and transport to extracurricular activities as required. The working schedule may offer some flexibility, with the main housekeeping tasks generally completed before the afternoon school pick-ups. The Nanny / Housekeeper will remain with the children until approximately 7:30–8:00 pm, supporting their routines and homework. Petrol expenses incurred during work-related driving will be reimbursed, and additional housekeeping hours may be available for a candidate interested in taking on extra work. The position is offered on a formal PAYE employment basis.
The role involves general housekeeping duties alongside providing attentive and reliable care for the children. Housekeeping responsibilities include maintaining general cleanliness and order throughout the home, managing laundry and ironing, and keeping clothing and household items organised. During the afternoon, the successful candidate will collect the children from school, assist with transport to clubs and activities, supervise homework and provide a reassuring presence until the parents return. Some basic family-style cooking would also be welcomed as a bonus. A flexible and observant approach is important, as the family would appreciate someone who naturally notices what needs attention and is happy to offer practical support throughout the day.
Only candidates who have the eligibility to work in the UK will be considered for this role.
