My Requirements

We are a family in Kensington looking for a warm, experienced and reliable nanny for our two boys, aged 9 months and nearly 4 years. This is a long-term, sole-charge position.

We had a wonderful nanny for two years, but unfortunately our new schedule no longer suits her. We’re hoping to find someone equally caring to join our family.

Start date: 6 January 2027

Working hours:

* 6-30th January: Full-time, approximately 45 hours/week
* From February: Guaranteed 25 hours/week, Monday–Thursday 2:30–7 pm and Friday 11 am–6 pm
* Option of full-time hours during school holidays, with additional hours likely when our youngest is unwell and unable to attend nursery

Responsibilities:

* Sole-charge care of both children, including baby feeding, naps and routines
* Nursery pickups, activities, outings and playdates
* Preparing children’s meals and snacks
* Supporting development and emotional wellbeing
* Children’s laundry and child-related tidying

Essential requirements:

* Minimum 5 years’ professional sole-charge nanny experience in private households (babysitting does not count)
* Minimum 1 year of sole-charge experience caring for a baby from 6 months of age
* Experience with preschool-aged children
* Current Paediatric First Aid certificate and Enhanced DBS
* Two verifiable professional nanny references
* Fluent English and legal right to work in the UK

A Level 3 childcare qualification or equivalent is desirable.

Pay: £21–£23 gross/hour, depending on experience. Contract, pension and payslips provided.

Live-out preferred, but we would consider live-in for the right candidate, with terms agreed separately.

We’re looking for someone genuinely loving, patient, proactive and confident who can become a trusted part of our family.

Please get in touch with your CV, relevant experience, and availability.
