About the job Daily Norland Nanny | Putney

Daily Norland Nanny | Putney
Hours: Monday to Thursday, 8am - 6pm; Friday, 8am - 1pm
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000 gross per annum
Children: G2
Start Date: ASAP, ideally mid-November

A family based in Putney are looking for a Norland nanny to care for their 2 year old daughter. Their current nanny, who has been with the family for over 18 months, will be leaving in early December, so they are ideally looking for someone to start in mid-November to allow for a handover.

The family are keen to find a confident, warm and engaging nanny who can take the lead in their daughter's care and development. The ideal candidate will be active, creative and genuinely enjoy spending time with young children. The family would love someone who enjoys getting out and about, exploring local activities, meeting friends and making the most of everything London has to offer, while also being equally happy spending time at home reading, doing arts and crafts, cooking or enjoying imaginative play. A good sense of humour is important, and they are looking for someone who can be silly, playful and fun with their daughter while maintaining the maturity, reliability and sound judgement needed to keep her safe and supported.

Their daughter already enjoys a varied weekly routine, including music classes, playdates, swimming, gymnastics and ballet, alongside regular outings and opportunities to socialise with other children. The nanny will be encouraged to continue building on this, bringing their own ideas and interests to create an engaging and age-appropriate routine. The family also value good communication and would love someone who keeps them informed and works collaboratively with them.

The role will include preparing fresh, nutritious meals for their daughter, with the family keen for her to continue enjoying a varied diet and eating the same sorts of meals as the adults. There is a miniature poodle in the home, although no dog-related duties are required.

They would love someone who can bring their professional knowledge and experience to the role, offering guidance on age-appropriate development, behaviour management and early years learning, while incorporating these naturally into everyday play. There are currently no plans for nursery, and the family are happy for their daughter to remain at home until she starts school, so they are looking for someone who will enjoy creating a stimulating and well-rounded environment for her over the coming years.

A driver is not required, as the family are well connected to public transport, with Putney railway station approximately 5-10 minutes away on foot and Putney Bridge Underground station also nearby. The family enjoy travelling together, but the nanny will not be required to travel with them. There is a miniature poodle in the home, although no dog-related duties are required. A Norland qualification is essential.
