• Keeping children’s bedrooms, play and study areas organised.
• Preparing healthy meals and snacks for the children.
• Proxy parenting when required.
• Accompanying the family on occasional travel.
• Support children’s independence, accountability, and self-management.
• Establish and maintain consistent, well-structured daily routines and complex diary management
  
• Provide guidance on etiquette, behaviour, and personal organisation.
• Act as a positive role model, setting clear expectations and boundaries.
• Liaise effectively with parents, schools, and the wider household team.

The ideal candidate will:

• Have excellent previous nanny or manny experience with school-aged children.

• Be proactive, positive, discreet and highly organised.
• Have a genuine interest in sport and active lifestyles.
• Be calm, flexible and able to manage busy family schedules.
