Take over breakfast from parents at 7.15am (tend to start in the house about 6am) Breakfast, brushing teeth and getting dressed for school in the morning and then taking boys to school. This is a 1015minute walk there and less than 10 minutes back.

B4 will be collected by his father on a Friday and brought home to meet the nanny and B7 back at the house by 3.15pm.
Teaching children independence and selfreliance. Not looking for a nanny to do everything for the children, definitely looking for someone who will promote them doing things for themselves. B7 has ADD. Whilst a normal child, if you meet and spend time with B7 you will not notice anything different about him, but in terms of managing his life and getting tasks done, he needs extra support with organisation and independence, so need to promote this for both children. This does not need to be done in a strict disciplinarian way, but by using positive reinforcement, praise, warnings ahead of transitions (B7 will struggle if asked to change activity or complete a task without an advance warning). Someone who has an interest in child development and in working with a child with ADD and dyslexia is going to be a plus.
Time not spent directly taking care of the children to be spent running errands, doing online shopping for food, uniform etc., looking for and booking activities and clubs for the boys for after school, halfterms, and holidays, buying presents for children's parties and wrap them etc.
Speak Spanish to the children (exclusively if possible) and encourage them to speak Spanish back.
