June start for a "VIP", Daily (4-days/week) Nanny in CHISWICK, with lovely international travel 3-4 times/year!   

We have a delightful new role for professional clients in Chiswick. Our clients are seeking a new Daily Nanny, to take sole charge care of their 3 children, B6, G3 & B21-months (+ newborn due September), from early this summer. The role would initially begin as shared care of all the children in different combinations (e.g. having time with the baby and older children separately) to then transition to sole-charge of all 4 children.

Nanny hours will be: 48 hours/week (4 x 12-hour days) with 1 contacted babysitting night per week.

Their much-loved nanny is leaving after 2.5 years to pursue a different career role, therefore they are consequently looking for a full-time nanny to start in June 2024 to handover and overlap with current nanny. The family have only had two long-term nannies to date and come highly recommended. With three children ranging in age and new baby due, the nanny must be adaptive and confident with mixed age-groups, with excellent 'Early-Years' knowledge yet able to also support with the family's eldest school-age son. The nanny must have previous experience working with UHNW, private families and be active, fun, creative and genuinely passionate about children's development.

Our client works in the medical profession and the Nanny hours will be 48 hours/week (4 x 12-hour days) with 1 contacted babysitting night per week. Due to the mother's shift pattern at the hospital, the family will require the first working week to be Monday to Thursday, with the next week worked Tuesday to Friday and repeated on an alternating basis. As a busy household and both parents do experience some fluctuation with their working hours, so a little flexibility and adaptability would be expected within the role. 

Our clients are a British/Australian family and do require a candidate flexible and happy to support with a few long-distance international travel trips (including USA, Hawaii & Australia). Travel is likely 2 x 3-week trips per year plus smaller 1-week trips in Europe, so the candidate must hold a passport that is visa easy and be open to travelling this Christmas 2024 (trip to Hawaii already booked.) It is preferred that the nanny has previous experience of formal & VIP households and private travel. They also have a second home in Oxfordshire, where they spend some time during the school holidays and weekends.

It is essential that the Nanny is a confident driver (manual in London - Mini & Range Rover) and a strong swimmer (there is a pool at their Oxfordshire home) as the children love the water. It is also essential that the new nanny is OK with dogs as there is a much-cherished Retriever. As busy professional household, this role is best-suited to a highly-organised candidate and confident, healthy/nutritiously astute cook.
