About Me
We are a warm, thoughtful, professional family in Islington looking for an exceptional, development-focused nanny to care for our daughter starting January 2026. We deeply value early childhood education and are seeking someone who brings expertise, intentionality, and joy to their work with babies.
Our daughter is a calm, bright, happy baby with a gentle temperament — several people describe her as “an old soul.” We are committed to giving her rich, nurturing early years and want to partner with a nanny who cares about child development as much as we do.

* Taking her to local enrichment activities (Mini Mozart, Rhyme Time, sensory play etc.)
* Facilitating daily time outdoors in nature/the park
* Preparing simple, nutritious meals as she transitions to solids
* Baby-related nursery duties (laundry, room organisation, maintaining a calm environment)
