£65000.00 - £80000.00 per annum

A warm, down-to-earth family is looking for a highly experienced nanny to care for their twins, a boy and a girl aged 5 years old. The role is based mainly in London, but it will involve international travel, particularly to the South of France and the US during school holidays. They have a relaxed and informal approach but place great importance on professionalism, reliability, and strong communication within their team.

The nanny will be responsible for all aspects of the children's care, ensuring their daily routines run smoothly while also fostering their educational and emotional development. A background in education is highly preferred, as the family is looking for someone who can support the children's learning and assist with homework. While there are no housekeeping duties, the role includes light childcare-related tasks such as preparing snacks, sometimes overseeing the weekly grocery order, and packing suitcases for travel. The nanny will also be responsible for managing childcare-related administrative tasks and maintaining clear and effective communication with both the household manager and the Principals.

During term time, the nanny will work five days per week, including weekends, with three weekdays on duty, one of which will always be Friday, while the other two can be flexible. The Principals enjoy doing the school runs themselves as much as they can, as the children's school is only a ten-minute walk from their home. All of the children's extracurricular activities take place at school, so there is no need for additional outside clubs or activities.
During school holidays, the role becomes more intensive, with full-time, and 24/7 care required while travelling. The nanny will be provided with accommodation on-site. Travel is a significant part of the role.
During overnight stays in London, accommodation consists of a private bedroom with an ensuite within a shared staff flat. The family's London home has three housekeepers, and while there are no pets in London, there is one dog in the South of France.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience working with children of a similar age and a genuine passion for childcare. They should be proactive, nurturing, and creative, capable of engaging with the children and fostering their curiosity and confidence. Excellent communication skills are crucial, as the role involves close collaboration with the household team. While fluency in French is not required, it would be considered a bonus.
The primary focus is on educational support and academic development. The family is seeking someone who prioritises learning and can structure play around educational goals. The boy is in the early stages of reading and needs consistent, creative encouragement to build foundational skills. The girl is bright and eager-she thrives when challenged and should be continually engaged with stimulating age-appropriate activities. The ideal candidate will go beyond simply caring for the children, embracing the more demanding but rewarding task of fostering their intellectual growth. This includes guiding them through reading even when there is resistance and incorporating sensory-based or imaginative methods to make learning feel natural and enjoyable. The family is looking for someone who will intentionally nurture their academic curiosity and potential.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated and experienced nanny to join a welcoming and supportive household.

  • Location: Chelsea, London international travels
  • Days and hours: 5 days per week, to include Saturday and Sunday full days. After-school hours for the other 3 days / Full-time during school-holidays
  • Children: 5 year-old twins (Boy and Girl)
  • Salary: £65,000 - £80,000 GPA, depending on experience and qualifications
  • Start Date: ASAP
  • Languages: French bonus / Fluent English must

£48000.00 - £52000.00 per annum

A warm and supportive family in Wandsworth (SW17) is looking for an experienced and qualified SEN nanny to provide dedicated care for their 7-year-old daughter. She attends Thomas's Clapham and has received multiple diagnoses over the years, including Coeliac disease, ADHD, and autism. This is a brand-new nanny position within the family, so they need someone who can guide them through the transition and provide much-needed support.
G7 is a bright and engaging child who thrives with structure and understanding. Her mum has been caring for her full-time, navigating the complexities of her needs on her own, while her father, a lawyer, is often away due to work commitments. This has been an intense and demanding journey, and the family is now seeking a nanny who can step in as a vital source of support-not just for G7, but for Mum as well. They are looking for someone who can bring warmth, patience, and expertise into their home, becoming a valued part of their daily lives.
The role will primarily involve helping with before and after-school routines, though the family is flexible on hours and happy to discuss what might work best. School finishes at 4 PM, and bedtime is usually between 8 and 9 PM, so the afternoons will be a key time for support. A nanny who can provide structure, assist with managing her additional needs, and create a calm and reassuring presence will be invaluable. There is also the potential for morning support before school, as well as additional hours during weekends, particularly when the family spends time in the Berkshire countryside.
One of the most challenging aspects of G7's care is food. With her Coeliac diagnosis and sensory sensitivities, mealtimes require careful planning and preparation. The family needs a nanny who understands the complexities of dietary restrictions and is comfortable preparing meals that meet her needs while also being appealing to her. This will be a key part of the role, so confidence in the kitchen and an ability to adapt to her requirements is essential.
While the day-to-day responsibilities will focus on G7's care, the nanny's presence in the household will also play a significant role in easing the emotional and practical load on Mum. This isn't a role where a nanny simply takes charge; rather, it's about stepping in as an additional layer of support, a trusted person who can help guide the family through the ever-evolving landscape of special needs parenting. They would love someone who can be a big-sister figure to G7-fun, kind, and engaging-while also being a reassuring and capable presence for Mum, who has shouldered the responsibility alone for so long.
School holidays are still to be determined, as the family hasn't travelled in years but would love the possibility of doing so. A nanny who is open to occasional travel would be a fantastic addition to their plans, though nothing is set in stone just yet. The right person will be adaptable and willing to grow with the family, adjusting to their needs as they figure out what works best.
This role requires a nanny with solid experience in SEN, particularly with ADHD, autism, and dietary management. The family needs someone who understands the unique challenges and joys that come with neurodivergence, who can bring expertise as well as empathy, and who is happy to become a true part of their lives rather than just an employee.

  • Location: Wandsworth (SW17)
  • Days and Hours: Monday to Friday, open to discussion, but ideally 7am - 9am 3.30pm - 9pm occasional babysitting
  • Children: G7 years-old, at school full-time
  • Salary: £20-25 gross per hour, depending on experience and qualifications (Up to £52K GPA)
  • Travel: TBD
  • Requirements: Strong SEN experience and qualifications

£35000.00 - £40000.00 per annum

A warm and dynamic family in Oslo is looking for a dedicated live-in nanny to join them and care for their two young children: a 3-month-old baby and a lively 2-year-old toddler. This is a permanent role offering stability, a competitive salary, and an exciting opportunity to be part of a loving household.
Dad is a doctor working shifts, while mum works full-time and is currently on maternity leave. As a nanny, your day will start with helping the children get ready, particularly the toddler, who attends kindergarten daily. For now, your mornings will primarily involve caring for the baby, ensuring their daily routine runs smoothly, with engaging activities and lots of care. Depending on the dad's schedule, your working day might change, though you will know your days and hours in advance.
In the afternoons, once the toddler returns home, your role will shift to preparing dinner for the children and supporting their evening routine, including bath and bedtime. The family appreciates someone who can assist with light housekeeping duties related to the children, such as laundry, tidying their spaces, and managing occasional grocery shopping.
Flexibility is key, as the family values a nanny who can occasionally assist on weekends when dad's shifts overlap, and mum could use an extra hand with the children. These additional hours will be planned well in advance. The family loves to travel and would like their nanny to join them on trips, including a holiday in mid-February (15th-22nd).
The ideal candidate is fluent in English, energetic, and playful, with a natural ability to engage children in stimulating and age-appropriate activities. Knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework is a bonus but not essential. Most importantly, they are looking for someone adaptable, who enjoys working closely with hands-on parents and can seamlessly integrate into their family life.
Accommodation will initially be within the family home. However, by June 2025, you'll have your own private, self-contained apartment within their refurbished home, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and private entrance-a spacious 50 sqm setup perfect for independence.
If you are an experienced, flexible, and compassionate nanny seeking a long-term role in a collaborative and warm family environment, this could be the perfect fit for you.
 

  • Start Date: ASAP, flexible for the right candidate
  • Days and Hours: Monday to Friday, up to 38h/week flexibility for weekend work occasionally
  • Children: 3 months-old and 2 years-old
  • Travel: Yes, international
  • Languages: Fluent English
  • Accommodation: Separate 1 bedroom self-contained flat from June 2025 / Private bedroom in the family's house before then.
  • Salary: NOK 500,000 and NOK 560,000 (Up to £40K GPA)
