Care for: G18 months (with newborn due in September)
Days/Hours: 4–5 days per week, approximately (8am – 12midday/2pm)

A warm, welcoming American family based in Chelsea are looking for an experienced, nurturing nanny to join them on a long-term basis. They are hoping to find someone who genuinely loves working with young children and is looking to become a valued part of the family for many years to come.

The role will initially centre around caring for their delightful 18-month-old daughter while Mum and Dad work from home. The family are expecting their second daughter in September and will have a maternity nurse in place during the newborn stage. Once Mum returns from maternity leave, the position will naturally develop into caring for both children, making this a wonderful long-term opportunity to grow alongside the family.

Their eldest daughter is a bright, affectionate and wonderfully engaging little girl who is advanced for her age in both her speech and walking. She has a real love of books and will happily sit and read for long periods, as well as enjoying trips to the park, ballet classes and Little Kickers. She has a fantastic appetite and loves mealtimes, making this a lovely opportunity for a nanny who enjoys preparing nutritious meals and encouraging healthy eating habits.

The family are looking for someone who will create fun, stimulating days, taking their daughter to local parks, classes and activities, while supporting her continued development through play and exploration. Alongside childcare, the role will include preparing healthy, nutritious meals, batch cooking for the children, keeping children's areas beautifully organised and ensuring everything related to the children runs smoothly on a day-to-day basis.

They are hoping to find someone who is warm, organised, proactive and naturally takes initiative. A nanny who is trustworthy, calm and easy to be around, whilst confidently taking ownership of the children's routines, will thrive in this role. A French speaker would be a wonderful bonus, although this is by no means essential.

There may be occasional opportunities to travel with the family for holidays or short breaks throughout the year, although this is entirely optional. A private parking space is also available for a nanny who drives, helping to make commuting as convenient as possible. The family also have a friendly 12-year-old Toyger cat.

This is a fantastic long-term opportunity for an experienced nanny who is looking to become a genuine extension of a kind and appreciative family. There is excellent scope for the role to grow over time, with the potential for increased hours as the family's needs evolve, making it an exciting opportunity for someone seeking stability and longevity in their next position.
