Job description

A kind and loving family in Chelsea is seeking a brilliant, proactive Live-Out Nanny to care for their happy and inquisitive three-year-old son.

The nanny will support his daily routine, assisting with nursery pickups, planning and accompanying age-appropriate activities, arranging playdates and maintaining an active social calendar. Additional responsibilities include preparing healthy, nutritious meals, supporting his emotional and cognitive development, guiding his bath and bedtime routine, and providing occasional babysitting.

The little boy has a sweet nature. He can be a little shy at first but warms quickly to both children and adults. He enjoys imaginative play, especially with cars and planes, and he regularly attends a local swimming club.

During school holidays, the role becomes more full-time, with cover required for up to 11 hours per day. The family employs a housekeeper, allowing the nanny to focus solely on the child. This is primarily a sole-charge role, although the parents occasionally work from home and will be present.

The ideal nanny is warm, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about supporting a child’s development and helping them confidently reach key milestones. Up to 10 weeks of travel per year is required, though the family can be flexible for an exceptional candidate.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a career nanny seeking a long-term position with a thoughtful and welcoming family.

Please note, due to the high volume of applicants only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
