Job Description:

We are looking for the next nanny for one of our favourite families in central London. This is a kind, friendly, fun and welcoming family, but also very busy! They need a capable, confident, energetic, flexible and loving nanny.

This is one of our returning families. They employ 2 nannies and 1 full-time housekeeper-nanny. They have 3 children. You will primarily be responsible for their youngest child, a daughter aged 4 years.

The most important requirement is to be kind, trustworthy, reliable, get on with the daughter (in particular) very well, and speak to the children in German.

Hours

1. Term time: 40-50 hours per week (flexible)
2. Evenings until 19:00
3. Days may vary between longer and shorter days on rotation with other nanny (early morning start or late start)
4. Every 3rd Saturday (not a deal breaker if not possible)
5. School holidays: slightly longer hours
6. Might be fewer hours from September onwards when little girl will extend nursery hours

Job Description: The nanny will primarily take care of the little girl (4 years) and will be responsible for her routine.

Specific duties include:

1. Drop off and pick up from nursery
2. Manage the girl's after school schedule and play dates (especially supporting the relationships she is building right now with her friends)
3. Prepare educational activities
4. Organize and tidy her room and playroom (only light housework)
5. Manage her doctors' appointments regularly in Germany
6. Accompany the family on their travels during school vacations (Countryside, Germany, Mallorca)
7. Work together as a team with the other nanny and staff in the household
8. Occasionally take care of the two brothers (8 & 10), especially encouraging them in the German language
9. Only speak in German with the children to continue to strengthen their language skills
10. No need to cook

The most important thing is to find a nanny that will be a perfect fit for the little girl! So we’re very flexible on some requirements.

Ideal candidate:

1. Happy and outgoing
2. Able to take over all responsibilities for the little girl
3. Ensuring a safe and nurturing environment, having the children's wellbeing as a highest priority
4. Loving and full of fun, excited to explore new things with the little one
5. Passionate about childcare
6. Experience with children between the age of 4-11 years
7. Education in early years / knowledge about child development
8. Knowledge about bilingual learning opportunities

Requirement:

1. Fluent German speaker (with no accent) and very good English skills
2. Driving highly desired, in Germany and Mallorca

The parents only speak German to the children, but as they work, they are not always around. Parents both work full time.

They live on the Notting Hill/Kensington border close to Notting Hill tube station. They would like the nanny to live within a reasonable commuting distance.

The family is looking for a full-time nanny. Hours to be agreed with the nanny, but can be anything from 40-50 per week - it is up to you. They would like some occasional help at the weekend. Salary offered depends on your skills, experience, and how many hours you work, but generally from £60-£80,000.

The family owns homes abroad in Germany and Mallorca, and they go there during school holidays. They would like the nanny to go with them. The houses and gardens are large, and the nanny can go riding, swimming in the pool, play tennis on the court, etc. It is fun, and this is enjoyable for their nannies.

Must speak fluent German, preferably Hoch Deutsch, (so that the children will not learn a different accent or dialect). Job starts ASAP.

Family has no pets and does not require driving when in London.
