About Me
We are a warm, bilingual family of four (Italian/English) looking for a caring and reliable nanny to join us long-term.
We have a 4-year-old daughter starting school in September and a baby boy born on July 25th, who will be attending nursery two days a week.
What we’re looking for:
• Around 40–45 hours per week, with an early start and always an early finish (no evenings or weekends required).
• A native Italian speaker with the right to work in the UK.
• Someone who can manage school and nursery drop-offs and pick-ups.
• Light cooking and household tasks related to the children and family
Bonus (not required):
• Willingness to travel occasionally with us, especially during school holidays, which are often spent in Italy.
We are happy to reduce the hours for the right candidate by increasing nursery/afterschool care (up to 5:00/5:30 pm) and reducing household duties, as long as drop-offs and pick-ups are covered.
If you’re a loving, organized, and experienced nanny looking for a stable and welcoming family, we’d love to hear from you!
My Requirements
Job Requirements
We are looking for a native Italian-speaking nanny/housekeeper who is efficient, warm, reliable, and proactive. The ideal candidate will be:

• Able to support our 4-year-old daughter with homework and early academic development, including preparation for future school assessments
• Experienced with young infants, including feeding, napping routines, and developmental activities
• Comfortable managing school and nursery drop-offs and pick-ups
We would love someone who is caring and engaged with the children but also confident running the household independently during the day.
Start Date: As soon as possible, no later than 1st November 2025

Our little one was at Maryam’s from 3 months old until 4 years when she went to school. We loved Maryam’s, as did our child but also our parents when visiting London.
Lin the nursery manager does an amazing job . The week program is great, the food nutritious and well balanced cooked on the spot and the activities varied and interesting.
The venue itself is really big giving the kids loads of space as the ceilings are high and the space if very practical. The play grounds in the area give the kids ample space to go out and play.

Communication
Jess was very punctual and on time. Her communication before meeting us was also very clear and precise. Indicating she is very trustworthy which appeared to be correct once you meet her.
Our daughter Sophia-Renée liked Jess a lot. Jess fed her, played with her and put her asleep all very conveniently. The place was super clean when we got home so she even had taken the time to do the dishes.
The day after babysitting Sophia-Renée was saying how much she liked Jess and was still asking questions about where she was now and that she wanted to play with her again.
We would definitely recommend Jess to anybody.’
