Both boys are happy, healthy and in great routines courtesy of their outgoing nanny. They are both super-outdoorsy and love visiting local parks, being on their bikes, playing football and racquet sports and are endlessly curious about the world around them. So, their new nanny needs to energetic, active and very outdoorsy to be able to maintain and support the boy’s hobbies and interests. With their eldest now at school, our clients are prioritising an educationally focused applicant able to confidently support schoolwork.
Our client’s long-standing, current NSJ Nanny has been a huge success and highly recommends the family, with everyone involved keen to ensure a thorough handover period for their next nanny to continue the established social connections that have been built up for the boys.
