About Me

My Requirements
Looking for a full time nanny from July 2026.
The role will include school pick-ups, helping with homework, taking
the children to and from activities, preparing their meals, keeping on top of tidying the areas used, children’s laundry, and making sure school bags and kit are organised and ready for the next day.
Some morning support with school drop offs is desirable but not essential.
We can be flexible for the right person who will fit into our family. We may consider part time. The position is not available until end of July but would be great to have some time with our current nanny for a smoother transition. We are interested to speak to interested candidates to share more
Notes: Full UK driving licence and own vehicle is essential
Reviews I've Written

I am delighted to provide this reference for Alice McKenzie, who has worked as a nanny for my family for the past nine years.
Alice began caring for our eldest child when he was just nine months old and has supported our family ever since. During this time, she has provided full end-to-end care for our two children, who are now aged eight and nine. Alice has been responsible for all aspects of their daily routines during working hours, including organising diaries, planning meals and dinner rotas, arranging playdates, and taking the children to a variety of activities.
Alice is a natural with children and has developed a warm, loving, and trusting relationship with both of them. She is proactive and confident in taking initiative, often organising activities and managing the children’s schedules independently. Her reliability and ability to self-start have made her an invaluable part of our household.
She has also always been flexible and supportive when we have needed extra help, particularly when the children have been unwell. Alice has consistently shown genuine care, patience, and commitment to their wellbeing.
Over the years Alice has become very much part of our family. She was also with us during my pregnancy with my youngest daughter and has been her nanny since she was born. She will be very much missed by all of us.
Alice is leaving us only because she is moving further away, making it impractical for her to continue working with our family. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She would be an exceptional nanny for families with children of all ages, from newborns through to older children. What stands out most is Alice's trustworthness and discretion which is an asset to her.
Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Alice caring for their children.
