PHS Job 2996: Full-Time Live-Out Maternity Nanny Job in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire | Salary: Negotiable

PHS Job 2996

Perfect Household Staff is pleased to present a refined opportunity for a warm, experienced, and professional live-out maternity nanny to join a lovely family based in the picturesque town of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. Surrounded by green open spaces and known for its tranquil residential character, this location offers an ideal setting for a calm and long-term private childcare engagement.

The position involves the care of a baby who will be three months old at the time of the maternity nanny’s start in mid-July 2025. The family seeks a long-term arrangement, ideally lasting until the child begins school. Initially, the role will commence on a part-time basis, with the maternity nanny attending two to three days per week for a few hours a day. This introductory period will support a gradual and gentle transition, allowing trust and familiarity to develop between the nanny, the infant, and the parents. From mid-September 2025, the position will evolve into a full-time role, Monday to Friday, from 7:30am to 5:30pm, as the mother returns to work.

The maternity nanny will be responsible for all aspects of the baby’s care, with particular emphasis on establishing and maintaining a consistent and developmentally appropriate routine. Responsibilities will include preparing and sterilising bottles, managing feeding and sleep schedules, introducing solids in due course, and ensuring the baby’s environment remains clean, calm, and well-organised. A strong understanding of early childhood milestones will be essential, with the ability to implement age-appropriate sensory and developmental activities to support the baby’s growth and wellbeing. Light nursery-related housekeeping—such as tidying, laundering baby clothes, and organising toys—will also be expected.

The family places a high value on hygiene, clear routines, and respectful adherence to cultural and household preferences. The home is fitted with CCTV in selected areas, excluding bathrooms, and the nanny must be fully comfortable operating within such a setting.

This position requires a professional maternity nanny with a proven track record of caring for infants in private households. A gentle, calm demeanour, excellent knowledge of infant care, and confidence in working independently will be essential. Candidates must possess up-to-date paediatric first aid certification, glowing references, and ideally a formal childcare or maternity nursing qualification. Discretion, excellent communication, and long-term commitment will be highly regarded.

This is a rewarding opportunity for an experienced maternity nanny seeking a long-term post in a respectful, supportive, and welcoming household. The family are clear in their expectations and wish to find a professional who will become a trusted and valued presence throughout the child’s early years.
