Job Descriptions
A welcoming family in Dulwich is searching for a warm, creative and playful nanny to join their household as soon as possible. They have three children: two girls, ages 5 and 3.5, who attend school locally, and a 1-year-old boy, who will be the primary focus of the nanny's day. The family's previous nanny was with them for nearly five years, so they hope to find someone equally dedicated to staying with them long-term, ideally until their youngest begins nursery in September 2026.
The position focuses on caring for B1, a highly active, social, and outdoors-loving toddler who thrives on playtime, exploration, and activities like swimming. The family values educational engagement and would love a nanny familiar with the EYFS framework who can bring a creative approach to nurturing his development. Their bright and inquisitive daughters enjoy arts and crafts, chatting about their discoveries, and are excited to be involved in new activities and day outings.
The school run will require a nanny who is comfortable walking or cycling around the Dulwich area, with each trip typically lasting around 15 minutes. The two girls currently attend different schools (though this may change from September 2025), but both are nearby. While their 1-year-old and the family's friendly male dog will primarily stay home, the family would love a nanny who is comfortable around dogs and happy to occasionally bring the little one and dog to the park for fresh air and playtime. A dog walker takes care of most of the pet's needs, so only light involvement is required.
Additionally, the role involves typical nursery duties, such as tidying play areas, preparing meals for the children, and doing a weekly load of laundry to manage school uniforms and PE kits. The family has a dedicated housekeeper who has been with them for many years, so the nanny's focus will remain on the children and their activities.
The family hopes to find someone who speaks highly fluent English; knowledge of Portuguese would be a welcome bonus, as Mum is Brazilian and grew up in Portugal. The family enjoys travelling, especially during the summer, when they often head to Spain and Portugal. They would love a nanny open to travelling with them for at least one trip each summer and who is also available for additional hours during school holidays when the children attend camps and clubs.
This role is ideal for a dedicated, engaging nanny who enjoys working with bright, active children and wants to make a positive, lasting impact within a family.
