Professional Nanny & Family Assistant
Full-Time, Live-In or Live-Out | Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire | 40 Hours/Week
Must be a fluent Spanish or English speaker (bonus if both)

Early Learning Through Play, Care, and Connection

We are hiring a Professional Nanny & Family Assistant to support the young family of our CEO — a warm, respectful, and international household based in Mexico City now, but moving back to Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire in January 2027. (there may also be an opportunity to join us in Mexico City for a few months before we fly to the UK)

This is a long-term, full-time role with a strong focus on early childhood learning, plus household and family support responsibilities. You’ll care for an energetic and curious 3-year-old boy, and help keep the home organized and running smoothly.

Our household is a mixed Mexican–British family that values kindness, trust, and flexibility. You’ll be joining an environment where your contribution is respected, and your role is seen as essential to our family’s wellbeing and growth.

Our family will move to the UK in either January 2027 for a period of 1 - 2 years, before moving back to Mexico City or to the USA. You will have the opportunity to travel with us, should you already be an important part of the family by then.
