Male Nanny
Role: Rota Manny / PA – Private Family
Care for: B12 & B16
Rota: 1 week on / 1 week off, 24/7 whilst on duty
Location: Notting Hill
Salary: From £60,000 gross per annum, with flexibility for the right candidate
Start date: September – 2026

We are looking for an energetic, engaging and highly organised Manny/PA to join a busy private family, working alongside their existing Nanny-Governess and supporting two boys aged 12 and 16.

The younger boy, aged 12, will be the main focus of the childcare side of the role. The family would love to find a positive male influence who can build a genuine rapport with him and is really happy to get involved. He enjoys rugby, football, cricket, swimming, fitness and being outdoors, so someone naturally sporty who would participate rather than simply organise activities would be a great fit. There is also an educational element, including keeping on top of prep, tutoring, tests, school communications and upcoming deadlines.

His 16-year-old brother attends boarding school and is naturally more independent. The Manny should respect his space whilst maintaining an appropriate level of oversight around his education, A-level commitments, tutoring and general organisation.

When the boys are at school or boarding, the position shifts towards PA and family administration. This will include diaries and appointments, travel and holiday planning, school and tutor administration, research, bookings, orders and returns, household coordination and liaising with other members of the family team.

The family is looking for somebody warm, fun and personable, but equally proactive and switched on. You should be confident around teenagers, educationally focused and naturally able to think ahead. A hands-on attitude is important, including being happy to prepare simple, healthy meals and muck in where needed.

Previous Manny/PA, private household, teaching, tutoring, sports coaching or boarding-school experience would all be relevant. Experience with dyslexia and dyspraxia would be advantageous, and a full clean driving licence is preferable.

The usual rota is one week on / one week off, 24/7 whilst on duty, including school holidays and bank holidays. During the main summer period, the rota may move to longer blocks of two or three weeks at a time.

Most importantly, the family is looking for someone who can build a great relationship with both boys, work collaboratively with the existing Nanny-Governess and become a trusted, long-term part of the family team.
