Days/Hours: Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm

A warm and 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 family have two daughters, aged 18 months and one month. The role will involve supporting the family during the daytime, working alongside a night nanny who will take over care in the evenings. Mum and Dad both work from home, and they are looking for someone confident and experienced who can take ownership of the children’s daytime routines and provide calm, consistent and loving care.

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.

With their youngest daughter still very little, the family would love to find someone who is confident caring for babies and toddlers and comfortable balancing the different needs and routines of both children as the baby grows. The role will naturally evolve over time, offering wonderful scope for a nanny who enjoys supporting children through their early developmental stages.

The family are looking for someone who will create fun, stimulating days, taking the children to local parks, classes and activities while supporting their 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 looking to become a genuine extension of a kind and appreciative family. The family are offering a highly competitive salary of £65,000 gross per annum for the right person and are keen to find someone seeking stability, longevity and a truly collaborative position.
