My Requirements

Long-Term After-School & Holiday Nanny Required

We are a warm, friendly family living between Wanstead and Manor Park (E12), looking for an experienced, caring nanny to become an important part of our family.

We have three wonderful children: two daughters aged 9 and 6, and a baby son who will be with his childminder during the day.

Hours

Term Time

Monday to Friday: 3:00pm – 6:00pm

School Holidays

Monday to Friday: 8:30am – 6:00pm
About the Role

Our daughters attend a local primary school, approximately a 15-minute walk from our home, finishing at 3:20pm.

During term time, the role involves collecting the girls from school and our youngest son from his childminder before caring for all three children until we return from work at 6:00pm.

During school holidays, you'll care for all three children throughout the day, planning engaging activities both at home and out and about.

We both have demanding careers, so we're looking for someone who is dependable, proactive and genuinely interested in building a long-term relationship with our family. We'd love to find a nanny who brings warmth, fun and consistency to our children's lives.

About Our Area

We live in a lovely, family-friendly neighbourhood with lots of parks and green spaces within walking distance. Many of our daughters' school friends live nearby, so playdates are a regular part of family life.

The girls attend local clubs and activities, all of which are easily accessible on foot, by bus or by car.

Ideally December 2026, allowing time for a gradual settling-in period before the role begins in full.
