JOB REF: DN0243

A lovely family of 4 (plus friendly doggo) based in Shepherd's Bush are looking for an experienced, proactive nanny to become a valued part of their household and care for their two wonderful boys, aged 2 years and 8 months.

Their eldest son is a thoughtful, intelligent and sensitive little boy who loves baking, art, nature, bugs and making people laugh. He enjoys taking his time to explore the world and thrives with patient, gentle guidance. His younger brother is a happy, content baby who enjoys watching the world around him and adores spending time with his big brother.

The boys love being outdoors and are in a great routine with classes and social playdates. However, the parents also advocate for the importance of daily downtime at home, particularly at nap time therefore this role would better suit a nanny who likes to balance their day between outside and home. Swimming lessons are part of the weekly routine and the nanny must be happy to attend these classes with the boys.

The family embraces a positive, playful parenting style built around empathy, humour and consistency. They are looking for someone down to earth who is happy to pitch-in and values collaboration. Their perfect nanny is reliable, takes pride in their profession and is a team player; someone who can share their own knowledge and experience with the family, but also take constructive feedback on board. Mum will return to work full time in September and both parents have the flexibility to work from home, so the nanny should be comfortable working alongside parents while confidently taking sole charge.

The family are keen to find a nanny who wants to stay with them long term and can adapt with the changes that come with normal growing and changing family needs e.g. mum returning to work full time, the boys’ transitions to nursery etc.
