About the job

We are looking for a playful, creative, and engaging full-time nanny to have sole charge of three gorgeous children ages 3, 6 and 7 years old. The parents would like someone who can commit long term with them and who has childcare experience with toddlers and school age children as well as manage the dynamics between three children using a loving but firm (when needed) approach. They also want a nanny who would be happy to travel with them on some holidays and you need to be a good swimmer. They are a relaxed and welcoming family and both parents work full time, often from home.

They would like to find a nanny who will be part of their family and someone the children will love spending time with who will engage with them in a positive fun way. When the youngest child is at nursery in the mornings (9-12) they would like their nanny to support with all nanny duties, organisation, some simple family cooking, running errands and if they don’t mind, walking their very cute small dog. They have a housekeeper who comes 3 x per week.

Duties will include school pick-ups, supervising play dates, taking kids to activities, helping with homework, and playing, baking, crafting, and having fun with them at home and outdoors.

They are open to someone living in but their preference is to have a live out nanny.
