A warm, private and engaged family based in St John’s Wood are seeking a professional, experienced live-out nanny to care for their two young daughters aged 2.5 years and 6 months.

The family are very hands-on and value a collaborative working relationship, so the role would suit someone confident yet naturally gentle, who enjoys working alongside involved parents.

Discretion, adaptability, and the ability to “read the room” are essential. The nanny will integrate seamlessly into a structured, busy household during working hours, bringing a positive, organised and proactive presence while maintaining professionalism and calm.

The role is live-out with a structured full-day schedule and includes extensive international travel during certain periods (particularly November–April), so flexibility and genuine enjoyment of travel are essential.
