We are a family based between Southfields and Putney (SW18). We're looking for a term-time or full-time live-out Nanny to look after our son from April 2025. He will be seven months old in April, and we are looking for someone to care for him as we return to full-time work. I work from home as a Product Manager for an international tech company, and my husband works as a secondary school Director of Music in Wimbledon. We're an outgoing, outdoorsy family, who love to go on walks, cook delicious meals and spend time with family and friends.

Our son has MMA, (Methylamonic Acidemia; a metabolic condition where he's unable to break down some amino acids from protein). Great Ormond Street Hospital manages his care. He takes regular medication and has a highly regulated low-protein diet based on his weight. The candidate must be willing to spend time in our local hospital (St Georges, Tooting) and the specialist hospital Great Ormond Street in the daytime if our child is admitted. As a result, we are looking for a diligent, attentive, compassionate nanny who is keen to learn. NG feeding and central line safety training will be provided by Great Ormond Street Hospital.
