PRIMROSE HILL NW3: very well-educated DAILY NANNY for B4 years & G16 months - very formal household

A highly-qualified, formally-trained, Daily Nanny is required to care for a B4y & G16m and a newborn arriving mid summer 2021. The family is based in Primrose Hill and all activities are within walking distance. The role is to be focused on wellbeing, social and intellectual development of kids.

The normal working hours: 8am - 6/7pm + occasional babysitting. The duties of the nanny would include, but not limited to:

- feeding, promoting independence.

- bathing, teeth brushing, dressing, helping to get ready for school.

- taking to activities and creating stimulating activities at home.

- making sure that toys/books/clothes/uniforms/shoes are in order and tidy.

- organising playdates.

- travelling with the family (within the UK and in Europe).

- occasional babysitting.

The family are extremely well-educated intellectuals and their son is showing early signs of gifted & talented and is an inquisitive young chap, so they require a candidate who is sharp, cultivated, highbrow & learned.  They are also looking for the nanny to be energetic, caring, organised and responsible, with previous experience of looking after children of a similar ages. The household is a busy one with kids schedules being packed, so the right candidate will be hands-on, reliable and capable of working independently and as a part of the team. They are keen to find someone who values this job and in return always respect and value their nanny. 

The household also employs a housekeeper (who covers washing up and ironing clothes, changing beds for kids), a part-time cook (who batch cooks for kids) and personal assistant who has chief of staff responsibilities. The boy is in school and also will have an after school governess/tutor to focus on formal schooling. The Mother is going to be a primary carer for the newborn for the first 4-6months, so for the first year the role would be mostly focused on a toddler girl. 

Requirements:

- at least 5 years of experience.

- early childhood education qualifications.

- hands-on, reliable and capable of working independently.

- energetic, organised, caring and responsible.

- first aid trained.

- Ofsted registered is a strong benefit.

- excellent English.

- ability to follow strict routine for kids.

- experience in families with several children.

- experience with working in London and knowing their way around the town.

**Pandemic note: for times of lockdown it will be possible for the candidate to temporarily live-in (a separate en-suite room with a separate kitchen). If the nanny commutes by car - parking is available on the driveway.

Normal working hours: 8am-6/7pm + occasional babysitting.

Salary: £60k-£85k (for a candidate who fits the above criteria).

Start date: flexible, but before February 2021.

Please note: the Father is very allergic to cats, so we cannot entertain a candidate who will be coming from a household with cats.
