Live-In Nanny/PA/Housekeeper or Live-Out Nanny
Old clients are seeking a caring, energetic and reliable nanny to join their family in September. This position can be either live-in or live-out. Their wonderful nanny, who has been with us for the past year, is leaving due to a change in circumstances, and they are now looking for someone new to join their dynamic family.
About Us
They are a busy and lively family of four currently living in Hampstead and moving to Highgate in early September. Both parents work full-time.
Children:
Daughter (2 years old)
Son (4 years old, starting reception in September) who has some sensory processing issues. While this isn't formally classified as SEN, having a nanny with some experience in this area could be beneficial, although it is not essential.
From September, the boy will start reception and the girl will attend nursery 3.5 days a week. They are moving to a spacious house with a large garden and a dedicated playroom.
About the Role
They are looking for a nanny who will become part of their family and help them provide a nurturing environment for their children.
