About Me
We are a family of five living in a large, pretty detached house in SouthWest London, a short distance from the London Underground and Overground. The location combines the best of both worlds - proximity to London and the serenity of walks in the local parks and lots of bird life.
We are looking for a Nanny/Mother's Help for a minimum of 40 hours per week, who will have fun after school with our two sweet and energetic boys, as well as looking after our baby girl during the day time. Mama works from home so will be present as much as possible for school pick-up and mealtimes.
We travel as a family during the holidays, so are looking for a Nanny who is willing and excited to come with us (primarily to Spain).
The hours listed below is our optimal arrangement, but we are prepared to be flexible for the right candidate.
My Requirements
Our eldest son was born in August 2018 and is 6. Our youngest son was born in February 2020 and is 4.5 years old. They are both in education from 8:30am to at least 3pm every day. We also have a baby girl who will be 1 in September.
Both parents work from home and intend to be present as much as we can when the boys are home, but we need someone to help with school collection and the preparation of the kids' meals. The nanny should be willing to help Mama with some of the household management including grocery shopping and laundry, but we have a cleaning lady who visits twice a week.
We would prefer a live-out candidate provided they live locally and are not wrestling with a long commute in the mornings.
We also have a sweet natured Labrador who will need occasional walking and lots of love.

Our daughter joined Paola’s “Sweet Home” setting just as she turned one. We have two older children who had been looked after by a nanny in our home, so moving to a childminder was new and somewhat daunting, and I studied the reviews and consulted other client/parents - all of whom were glowing in their praise - before selecting Sweet Home. I am delighted to be adding my own, glowing review one year later, as my daughter starts her second year there.
Paola is a deeply caring and committed childminder who built a strong bond with our child very quickly, and put me at ease immediately with timely updates as well as a photo record. My daughter is extremely happy in her setting, and has made huge strides in terms of development and confidence in a short space of time. Paola’s background at Montessori is evident in the structure and skill she brings to the setting, which nevertheless feels warm and homely.
We feel extremely lucky to have found Paola; she is an asset to the Wimbledon childcare provision and I have no hesitation in recommending her.
