About the family

A lovely British family is looking for a warm, confident and truly hands-on nanny for its two children, aged 3 and 5. Mum is very involved and beautifully organised. She does all the school runs and plans the family's meals, so the household runs smoothly. What she needs now is a great nanny by her side. The family has had a nanny since the children were small and are now looking for someone more hands-on and child-focused, who brings real energy and joy to the children's days. This is strictly a nannying role, not a housekeeping position.

The role

The family wants a nanny who is fully present with the children. That means no phone out during the day and no screen time for the children, just playful, joyful, active time together. Their 5-year-old son thrives with clear boundaries. The family is looking for someone confident and organised who can set rules gently and consistently, and keep him feeling secure and happy while doing it. The busy moments are where this nanny really shines. Someone who stays calm and on top of things when the house gets lively, and finds the fun in it. Bath time, pyjamas and getting ready for bed should feel joyful and well run, with the right nanny supporting mum through the evening routine. Both children are at school. During school hours there's some quieter time, with light tasks for the children and helping around the home. After school, the focus is on activities, play and time outdoors. The family would also consider live-out, but live-in suits the school day and family routine best.
