Live Out Nanny Job in London
My Requirements
**We’ve found a wonderful nanny and will therefore no longer be reviewing applicants at this time. Thank you to everyone who got in touch!**
Hello, I’m Zuriel’s mum, Petra. (Zuriel is 7 months old)
I’m currently a full-time mummy while also running my own side business, and I’ve found that trying to work in 25-minute bursts while Zuriel is asleep doesn’t allow my brain to function properly. I’m therefore looking for someone to help with her for a few hours, 2-3 times per week, ideally from the morning until early afternoon.
Her dad and I both primarily work from home, so we’ll usually be in the office while you’re with Zuriel. We live in a 2-bedroom flat just off Tower Bridge Road, so I’d love someone who can take initiative and spend quality time with her - playing with her, feeding her (she absolutely loves food now that she’s weaning!), and, importantly, getting her out of the flat.
Whether that's going for walks or finding fun things to do, I'd love someone who enjoys planning both free and paid activities for babies her age so she can explore, learn and have lots of different experiences.
The aim is for me to be able to switch off mentally from what's happening in the living room and focus on my work, knowing she's having a wonderful time.
My daughter is extremely calm, playful and curious. She loves bouncing, seeing the world and is used to lots of interaction. I’m looking for someone who is creative, expressive and genuinely enjoys engaging with babies, as she’s quite attached to me at the moment and I don’t want her to feel my absence during those few hours.
I’d love her to be so busy having fun that she barely notices I’m working!
Please do let me know if this sounds like something you’d be interested in and able to provide for my little girl on a regular basis.
Location is near London Bridge. Please ensure the distance is suitable for you.

Chloe has only been with us for three days (her first week!), and we already absolutely adore her.
She is incredibly dedicated, positive, easy-going, and takes her role very seriously. What really stood out to me is her initiative - before even starting, she’d researched our local area and has already come up with so many lovely ideas for my 9 month old, including taking her to the library after noticing how much she loves books. She clearly puts a lot of thought into how she can make her time with our daughter fun, engaging and enriching.
Our daughter took to Chloe immediately and is so happy in her care. She’s playful, gentle and patient, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys babies. Chloe has also proven to be very responsible, reliable with her communication and considerate of our routine.
She even gave it a go at doing my daughter’s hair (she has a little afro). It’s been lovely seeing how willing she is to get involved with everything.
I genuinely can’t say enough wonderful things about Chloe. We only wish we had more days to offer her at the moment, but we absolutely plan to keep her with our family for as long as possible. We’re so happy to have found her and already look forward to seeing her every week!
