Approx. 25 hours per week (potential to increase to ~30 hours)

One baby & one boy aged 6

Calm, well-mannered family dog

We are pleased to be supporting one of our returning clients in the search for a warm, engaging, and playful nanny to support their growing family. This role is all about finding the right personality fit, someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with both children and becoming a positive, caring presence in their daily lives.

While a significant portion of the role will involve caring for the baby, it is essential that the nanny is equally invested in building a meaningful relationship with the family’s 6-year-old son. He is curious, social, and loves to be involved, particularly when it comes to play, activities, and cooking, and the family are keen to find someone who will make him feel included, valued, and wanted.

Fridays do not need to run as late

Ideally 4 working days per week (3 days considered only for an exceptional fit)

At least one day with an earlier start, allowing support during the day before school pick-up

The family are happy to shape the schedule around the right candidate — flexibility is key on both sides.

The Role

Responsibilities as below with a strong emphasis on engagement, play, and cooking, including:

Providing attentive, nurturing care for the baby, supporting routines and development

Actively engaging the 6-year-old through play, conversation, and shared activities

Planning and organising fun, age-appropriate activities for the eldest, both at home and out and about

Encouraging sibling connection and inclusive play

Preparing nutritious, home-cooked meals, involving the eldest child in cooking wherever possible

Supporting afternoon and evening routines, including dinner and bedtimes

Creating a warm, calm, and positive environment where both children feel secure and valued

Managing all standard nursery and child-related duties

The Ideal Candidate

Is genuinely enthusiastic about spending time playing, talking, and engaging with an older child

Brings warmth, energy, and an upbeat, caring personality

Enjoys cooking and values nutrition, and is happy to involve children in the kitchen

Is emotionally intelligent and naturally nurturing

Understands that connection and engagement are just as important as routine
