We are a young British family living in the Algarve. We are looking for a live in or out full time housekeeper/ nanny to help around the house and to look after the children. We have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. The 4 year old attends school until 3.30pm every day and the 2 year old will start nursery in September on a phased in basis. From September, a typical day may be helping with breakfast clean up and general cleaning and tidying, including changing beds when necessary and laundry, for a few hours and then in the afternoon perhaps assisting with the children or collecting them from clubs etc. Whilst the children are out of the house we anticipate that you will have some free time. Babysitting a couple of nights a week would also be good. During the Summer, both children will be at home so there may be slightly more childcare required.

We're really keen to find someone who wants to stay somewhere long term and become part of the family. I think the most ideal candidate will be open to flexibility as every day may be slightly different - some days a bit more time with the kids and some days more cleaning/ tidying.
