Nanny in Jersey
Job Description
A warm and welcoming family relocating from London to Jersey is looking for an experienced and proactive live-in Nanny/Housekeeper to join them long-term. With two young children—a girl aged 3.5 and a boy aged 2.5—and a new baby on the way, they need someone who is confident caring for multiple children at different developmental stages. A maternity nurse will be assisting in the early weeks, but the role will involve gradually taking on more baby-related responsibilities.
Their current nanny has been with them for years and will join for a week to help them settle, a handover in London is also possible.
The nanny will work around 50–55 hours per week, with a typical day running from 7:00 AM to 6:15 PM during term time, and a slightly later start (8:00 AM) during school holidays. The role includes school and nursery runs, organising fun and stimulating activities, supervising playdates, and overseeing the bath and bedtime routine. The family has a strong preference for active, screen-free play, so they are looking for someone who enjoys planning outings such as trips to the beach, the zoo, or soft play centres.
Cooking is also an important part of the role, with the nanny preparing nutritious meals for the children and occasionally making lunches or dinners for the parents. In terms of housekeeping, the focus will be on all child-related tasks, including laundry, linens, and managing baby-related items. A part-time cleaner works 10–15 hours per week and will handle general laundry and the parents’ clothing, though some additional household support may be required.
The role comes with separate accommodation, a fully furnished two-bedroom apartment, offering privacy and comfort. The second bedroom may occasionally be used for guests or family needs but will primarily remain available for the nanny’s use.
The ideal candidate will have solid experience with young children and be organised, proactive, and fun-loving while maintaining firm boundaries. A confident driver is essential for school and nursery runs, and strong cooking skills will be highly valued. The family is looking for someone who can seamlessly integrate into their home, balancing independence with teamwork, and supporting them in creating a happy, structured environment for their children.
If you are an experienced nanny looking for a fulfilling, long-term role in a beautiful location, this could be a fantastic opportunity!
