This lovely family are looking for a mature, caring, flexible and experienced nanny to help care for their son who was born in August 2024. The successful candidate should be active, hardworking and a self-starter.

The little boy is happy and in a very good routine. He has started nursery for 3 hour mornings Monday-Friday, and has an afternoon nap for 2 hours – he also enjoys going to classes, groups, playdates and activities. This is a shared care role - both parents are home with the mother being very present and involved, and the father working between a home and external office. The current nanny is leaving because of a change to her personal circumstances.

The working days are Monday to Friday, 12 hours per day on a flexible schedule, with plenty of opportunity for down time periods when he is at nursery. The nanny would also have the monitor overnight although it is very rare for the little boy to wake.

It is a bonus if the candidate speaks French as this is a bilingual French/Australian home, however this is absolutely not essential.

The nanny needs to have a relaxed yet professional approach and recognise their role as being there to provide excellent care to the little boy and to support the parents.

The family have a beautiful home in Kensington which is 5 minutes walk to Kensington High Street. The nanny would have their own private bedroom and ensuite bathroom (Monday to Friday).

There is minimal travel in the role, but if the family do travel the nanny may go with them depending on the situation. Occasionally there could be proxy-parenting if the parents travel overnight or for a few nights mid-week, though this is rare.

The family employ a housekeeper 5 days a week who does the little boy's laundry. All other nursery duties need to be completed by the Nanny including grocery shopping and preparing fresh nutritious meals for the child.

A driver is not needed.

The family have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever who has a dog walker. He's trained and very friendly!
