ABOUT THE FAMILY

We are looking for an outstanding live-in nanny for a fun, busy family of five in West London, with children aged 5, 3.5, and 2. B5 is a thinker - curious, articulate and eager to converse! He enjoys playing LEGO and, as his reading skills have begun to bloom, he loves exploring books. He feels deeply and is looking for a nanny who can show kindness, empathy and understand his big feelings. B3.5 is bubbly and easy-going. He enjoys being outside, playing physical games and, like his big brother, he is communicative and loves to chat. G2 is fun, full of beans and loves to keep up with her big brothers. She will be joining a local nursery 3 days a week in September and on her days at home, still enjoys her afternoon nap. The children are looking for a “no-screen” nanny who can get them out and about in the afternoons to run off some steam!

Both boys attend the same school; B5 full-time and B3.5 attends the nursery 4 days a week. Due to the mix of schedules, the nanny will be child-free during school hours on two days of the week and as such, the family are looking for someone who can take on some household administration duties during these times. 

Mum and dad are open, warm and friendly and are looking for someone they can rely on 100% to manage the care and schedule of all three children. Whilst they work from home, they have demanding jobs and will not be involved in the day-to-day care of the children whilst the nanny is on duty. They describe themselves as firm but fair parents who validate their children's feelings with love and empathy, but maintain consistent boundaries when it comes to behaviour and safety. 

Their current nanny has been with them for 2 years and is leaving to pursue her dream of living in America. As such, the family are looking for someone who is looking for a long-term commitment and is enthusiastic about growing with the role.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Nursery/School drop-offs and pick-ups: Morning drop off will occasionally be shared with mum and dad, however you will be solely responsible for all three pick ups.
