Job description

Perfect Household Staff is pleased to present a fantastic new opportunity for an experienced and proactive Full-Time Live-Out Housekeeper/Nanny to support a warm, welcoming family based in the highly sought-after area of Belsize Park, London. The household consists of two principals, two school-aged children aged seven and five, and a newborn expected in February 2026.

The family resides in a spacious four-bedroom townhouse arranged over four floors, including a patio, winter garden, and garage. The household is informal yet maintains high standards and values longevity, trust, and a positive working relationship.

The family is supported by a long-standing full-time nanny who has been with them for over six years, as well as a part-time gardener.

The father works both from home and the office, while the mother will be at home full-time following the arrival of the newborn. The family travels during school holidays, including extended summer stays in Spain for approximately four to five weeks, during which the Housekeeper/Nanny will be required to accompany them. During other travel periods, there is flexibility for deep cleaning, reduced duties, or holiday time.

This is a full-time live-out role suited to a professional Housekeeper/Nanny who is energetic, hands-on, and confident working with children. The position involves a balanced split between housekeeping and childcare support. Housekeeping duties will primarily take place during the first half of the day, particularly Wednesday to Friday, while afternoons and weekends will involve school pick-ups, transporting children to activities, and assisting with their routines.

A confident driver is preferred, and the family will provide an automatic vehicle for school runs and work-related duties. Occasional basic cooking may be required, though this is not a core responsibility of the role.

The family is offering formal employment with a full contract of employment, including standard holiday entitlement, and is seeking a professional who values long-term stability and continuity. They are flexible and fair employers who are equally committed to building a respectful and lasting working relationship.
