KENSINGTON W8 + travel: Live-in Nanny (B2 years) August/September start

This lovely family is looking for a looking for a mature, caring, flexible and experienced nanny to help care for their son who was born in August 2024. The successful candidate should be active, hardworking and a self-starter. The family would also love for the nanny to be a French speaker as this is a bilingual French/Australian home, however this is absolutely not essential.

The little boy is happy and in a very good routine. He will be starting nursery in September for 3 hour mornings Monday-Friday – he also enjoys going to classes, groups, playdates and activities. This is a shared care role - both parents are home with the mother being very present and involved, and the father working from a home office. The current nanny is leaving because of a change to her personal circumstances - ideally there will be a handover period of a couple of weeks to transition care to the new nanny. 

• The working days are Monday to Friday, 12 hours per day on a flexible schedule (for example starting later sometimes to accommodate a dinner or starting earlier to allow the parents to get to a morning commitment). The nanny would also have the monitor overnight although it is very rare for the little boy to wake.

The nanny needs to have a relaxed yet professional approach and recognise their role as being there to provide excellent care to the little boy and to support the parents.

The family has a beautiful home in Kensington which is 5 minutes walk to Kensington High Street. The nanny would have their own private bedroom and ensuite bathroom (Monday to Friday). 

• There is minimal travel in the role, but if the family do travel the nanny may go with them depending on the situation.
• The family employ a housekeeper 5 days a week who does the baby’s laundry in general. All other nursery duties need to be completed by the Nanny including preparing fresh nutritious meals.  
• A driver is not needed. 
• The family has a 4 year old Golden Retriever who has a dog walker. He’s trained and very friendly!
