Live in Nanny Job, Acton (London) and rural Scotland, ASAP start

A cheerful, relaxed, and welcoming family are looking for a kind and lively nanny to care for their three boys aged 3, 5, and 6 years. All three children are happy, active, outdoorsy, and love playing together. The two eldest are at school full-time and enjoy reading, dressing up, football, and music. The youngest is at nursery three days per week and can be shy at first but is very chatty and loves his train set!

The family spend term-time in London and all school holidays in rural Scotland. It is as such essential for the nanny to enjoy and thrive in both settings: more structured in London with school runs and afterschool activities, but very free and organic when on the family’s farm in West Scotland. When there, days are typically spent on the beach, riding bikes, building dens, and exploring the countryside.

Both parents work full-time and the role is fully sole charge, however the nanny must be comfortable with parents working from home. They are looking for someone genuinely devoted to childcare. Their ideal nanny will be positive, fun, with a lot of energy and a can-do attitude. A real love for the outdoors is a must but also being comfortable in London following a routine and schedule. A team player with plenty of initiative and independence would be a perfect fit.

The family are looking for someone to stay with them long-term and become part of their children’s childhood and happy memories. This is a unique and fantastic opportunity for a nanny to work in a fun and joyful home and truly make this role their own.

An up to date first aid certificate and police check are essential for this position.
