Experienced Live-Out Nanny – Notting Hill, London

Long-term role with a warm, loving, creative family. Current nanny has been with them for 5 years.

A welcoming family of four in Notting Hill seeks an experienced, nurturing and highly organised nanny to support their two daughters (6 and 9) in a long-term position. Both parents work from home, creating a calm but lively household, and they are hoping to find someone who will become a trusted, steady presence in their children’s daily lives.

Their current nanny has been with them for five years, and they hope to welcome someone who values the same sense of continuity and commitment. The family also have a gentle golden retriever, so comfort with dogs is essential.

Who We’re Looking For

A confident home cook with a genuine interest in children’s nutrition, able to plan balanced weekly meals
Engaged in the children’s learning — curious, thoughtful, and happy to support homework and reading
Supportive of 11+ preparation (day-to-day practice is nanny-led; academic strategy sits with the tutor)
Experienced with long-term roles and understands the rhythm of school-age children’s routines
Organised, proactive and detail-oriented, with pride in presentation, planning and the small touches that make a household run smoothly
