Live in Nanny Portobello Road, Notting Hill

We are looking for an energetic, happy, and kind LIVE-IN nanny who is happy with a full-time position in school holidays and part time hours in term time. The family have two gorgeous energetic children ages 2.5 and 6.5 years old. They would love to find an easy going, flexible nanny to become part of their family and who can commit to staying for around 2 years or longer.

This is a shared care role, and you will be working in partnership with the parents who are very hands on. Their son is being assessed for ADHD, so they need a nanny who is firm yet fair and is willing to learn if they have not worked with children with ADHD before. You need to be patient, tactile and genuinely interested in working with young children.

They are looking for a capable nanny who is passionate about their role and is interested in child development. They want someone who is imaginative who can engage with both their little girl who is a fun and girly toddler as well as with their Lego loving and energetic son, currently in year 2.

You need to have a fluent level of English and ideally you are COVID vaccinated and happy to travel with the family on some holidays. Accommodation will be your own double bedroom and en-suite bathroom on your own floor but no separate entrance.
