Spanish speaking Nanny in Kensington SW7

We are looking for a switched-on, kind, caring, and warm Spanish-speaking Nanny to join a friendly family based in Kensington (SW7).

The Nanny will be caring for two girls, their youngest aged 4 months old, and their eldest who is 3. Mum is still on maternity leave so initially, it will be a mix of sole charge and shared care, although the majority of the Nannies' care will be for their eldest daughter until Mum returns to work.

The family is looking for a Nanny who is pro-active and motivated as their eldest daughter is on the shyer side, so someone who can nurture and encourage her with planning play dates and going to groups/ activities would be ideal. The ideal Nanny would be very easygoing and be happy to dance around, sing and have fun!

The Nanny must also be happy to muck in with the baby, and assist Mum with feeds, changing nappies, sterilising bottles, etc.. so experience with the under 6 month age group would be fantastic.

The family is based in Kensington (SW7) so there is an abundance of local activities, and groups within walking distance. The Nanny will be responsible for planning days out, and be pro-active in making plans especially within the school holidays, as their eldest daughter does attend pre-school 35 weeks of the year, so the Nanny will pick her up, bring her home and cook her dinner as well as getting her ready for pre-school, helping with breakfast and packing her bag ready for the day ahead.

The Nanny will undertake the usual child-focused housekeeping duties such as the children's washing, cooking their meals, ensuring their rooms are tidy, and putting away toys at the end of the day. The Nanny will also clear up after mealtimes, and unload/ load the dishwasher.

Hours will differ slightly in the term time, to the holidays and will be as follows:
-Term Time
Monday, Wednesday and Friday : 8:30 am - 7 pm
Tuesday and Thursday: 8:30 - 12:30 and 4-7 pm
45.5 hours PW
-Nursery holiday time:
Monday - Friday: 8.30- 7 pm
52.5 hours PW

AS OF SEPTEMBER 2022 THE HOURS WILL BE 8AM-7PM (55 HOURS)

It is essential for this role that the Nanny speaks fluent Spanish, as their eldest daughter can speak it fluently (their previous Nanny taught her) so they want to ensure she keeps up this language skill, with lots of practice with the Nanny. The family speaks English as a first language in the family home.

It is essential for this role that the Nanny has 5/6 years of experience within childcare, but this role is open to Nannies who have come from a nursery/ pre-school background too, as long as they are confident with sole charge. The family really wants the Nanny to become an extension of the family, as they don't have any family in the UK.

The role is to start ASAP, but there is slight flex on this for the perfect candidate.

It is a requirement for this role that the Nanny is fully vaccinated and boosted.

Salary of up to £17 Gross PHR.

This role is initially a 1-year contract to cover Maternity leave, but there is a possibility the Nanny may not return so it the contract will be extended.

The requirements for this role:
-Must speak fluent Spanish
-Live within a commutable distance of Kensington
-Have an enhanced clear DBS check
-2/3 childcare/ Nanny references which can be verified immediately
-Paediatric first aid

We look forward to receiving your application!
