AH130: Nanny – Returning Client, Parsons Green

- Parsons Green, SW6
- Start: Flexible / ASAP for the right candidate
- £20–24 gross per hour (some flexibility for the right person)
- 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday (typical 9:00am–5:00pm)
- One baby & one boy aged 6
- Calm, well-mannered family dog

We are pleased to be supporting one of our returning clients in the search for a warm, engaging, and playful nanny to support their growing family. This role is all about finding the right personality fit, someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with both children and becoming a positive, caring presence in their daily lives.

While a significant portion of the role will involve caring for the baby, it is essential that the nanny is equally invested in building a meaningful relationship with the family’s 6-year-old son. He is curious, social, and loves to be involved, particularly when it comes to play, activities, and cooking, and the family are keen to find someone who will make him feel included, valued, and wanted.

Working Pattern & Flexibility:
The family are open and flexible on structure for the right nanny, but the role will broadly include:
- Around 25 hours per week, with the potential to increase to approximately 30
- At least 3 afternoons/early evenings between Monday and Thursday, working until 7.00–7.30pm to support with dinner and bedtime routines
- Fridays do not need to run as late
- Ideally 4 working days per week (3 days considered only for an exceptional fit)
- At least one day with an earlier start, allowing support during the day before school pick-up

The family are happy to shape the schedule around the right candidate — flexibility is key on both sides.

The Role:
Responsibilities as below with a strong emphasis on engagement, play, and cooking, including:
- Providing attentive, nurturing care for the baby, supporting routines and development
- Actively engaging the 6-year-old through play, conversation, and shared activities

- Preparing nutritious, home-cooked meals, involving the eldest child in cooking wherever possible
- Supporting afternoon and evening routines, including dinner and bedtimes
- Creating a warm, calm, and positive environment where both children feel secure and valued
- Managing all standard nursery and child-related duties

The Ideal Candidate:
- Has solid experience caring for babies, with confidence and ease
- Is genuinely enthusiastic about spending time playing, talking, and engaging with an older child
- Brings warmth, energy, and an upbeat, caring personality
- Enjoys cooking and values nutrition, and is happy to involve children in the kitchen
- Is emotionally intelligent and naturally nurturing
- Understands that connection and engagement are just as important as routine

Minimum Requirements:
