PLACED | London | Sole Charge Live-in Nanny Needed | Mid-July 2023 Start Date
A lovely family based in Little Venice are looking for a live-in nanny to look after their two little boys aged 4 and almost 2.
The family are looking for someone who is incredibly child-friendly, warm, has lots of positive energy (plays monster in the park, gets inside the soft play with the kids, chases the kids around etc).
The nanny will be working on average 60 hours per week, Monday to Friday (7am - 7pm) plus 2 baby sittings per week (Mon - Thurs, and will not be used every week).. The family home is conveniently located in a beautiful Little Venice, just a 20-minute bus ride or short train ride to central London and with easy access major parks including Hyde Park, Regent's Park, and Queen's Park.
Both parents work mostly from the office, so the nanny must be confident sole charge. Someone very organised who will manage the children’s schedules will be a good fit and the parents are keen the nanny focuses on the boy’s education and development, ensuring they grow up to be happy and kind. The ideal candidate will enjoy being a bit silly with the children and laughing with them but, at the same time, also genuinely interested in helping the children learn and develop, both educationally and emotionally.
Both boys are happy and healthy, in a good routine - the eldest has a peanut allergy and carries an EpiPen. The eldest is a very playful little boy who loves cars, tractors, but especially enjoys role-play/pretend play. He also loves Lego, Magnatiles and anything where he can use his imagination. He really enjoys drama and music at nursery and is very inquisitive, asking lots of questions. The youngest is a happy toddler with a big personality. He is a good eater and has a great sleep routine. He enjoys exploring and being active.
The role will include typical nursery duties, preparing healthy meals and organising age-appropriate activities.
From September 23, the eldest will start school full time (requires driving) and the youngest will start nursery 5 mornings a week (a walkable distance from the house). If the nanny is happy to help walk the dog in the mornings when both children are out of the house that would be great but not essential.
The accommodation will comprise a private bedroom and bathroom within the family home but on its own floor away from the family.
No holiday travel will be required but may be considered in future if the nanny is willing.
A driver is essential, and a car will be provided for duties.
A cleaner is employed by the family.
The family have a small dog and a dog friendly person would be preferred.
