Description | early 2025 start in KENSINGTON W8 + travel: Fun, experienced, Rota Nanny (1 week on/off) G14 & B11 years -- ££££ (driver essential)
Early 2025 start, for returning Kensington-based clients. We are seeking a fun, experienced Rota Nanny to join our wonderful Norland nanny to work a 24/7 rota, caring for two children G14 & B11 years. The other half of the rota will be with our NSJ nanny. The two nannies will work a weekly rota basis and the Nanny will be on call for the duration of her rota. This is a fully staffed household and the other household staff all live out and commence at 9.30am in the morning. This is as informal but staffed household, but it's helpful and its helpful for the nanny to have worked in a household with other staff members before and also travelled internationally with a family. The 2 Nannies will share the travel which will be planned in advance.
The Nanny is responsible for getting the children up in the morning, getting them ready for school and doing a shared school-run with mum (the children's schools are in opposite directions!). So between them Nanny and mother accompany the children to school every day. The nanny will have some child pa duties to do during the school day, but will also get some time before everything picks up pace towards the end of the day with school pick-ups, after-school clubs, events, social, homework etc etc. before the evening supper and bedtime routine.
A confident London driver is essential and an automatic car (Discovery) is provided for working week. Typical term time duties include: getting the children ready for school, giving them breakfast, few errands may be required in the day including walking the two little dogs who are very much part of the family. Pick up from after school clubs, help with homework.
There are no laundry duties as the house is fully staffed, there is a chef who cooks dinner. Although there is a chef in the household, it's important that the nanny is happy to prepare food for the children when the chef is not there, usually weekends and travel.
The family spend weekends at their country house which is a 40 min drive from London. Lots of lovely travel, typically travel every holiday to homes in Switzerland, Monaco and also USA. The rota will be more fluid during holiday tie, but the nanny never works more than 3 weeks at a time.
Our client's ideal candidate will be super-organised, easy-going, patient and sporty with prior experience of working with senior school children, PGCE or QTS trained. A nanny who can confidently manage and have fun with older children.
Top salary for a candidate with the appropriate experience, qualifications and training. The role is to start in January 2025 but the nanny will need to be available for trial weeks in November & December. We are interviewing now for suitable candidates, but we do have a small degree of flexibility, so do call us on 0207 610 9218 or if new to us, please send your fully up-to-date CV + references along with your covering letter as to why you are suited to this role, to us at: info@nanniesofstjames.com
