Live out Nanny/PA Job, Kensington, September start
A returning client of Greycoat Lumleys is looking for a Nanny to care for their three children, a boy of 10 years old and his twin siblings of (almost) 6 years old. All three children are sporty and energetic. The eldest loves both music and football and his sisters are very different but the best of friends – one loves cars and dinosaurs while the other prefers princesses and unicorns.
The role is sole charge, however both Mum and Dad work from home part of the week. When Dad works from home (twice or three times a week), he will manage the school drop off and the Nanny will be free to start in the early afternoon for the school pickup. The children’s schools are a short drive from the family home. The Nanny will as such need to be a confident and safe driver in London.
The family is looking for someone proactive, fun but firm, and familiar with the English school system. Someone calm, positive, and flexible, but also energetic, organised, and punctual. Confidence to help run a busy household is essential.
The family owns a home in the countryside and often spends weekends and school holidays there. Once staying there, the Nanny would have her own bedroom and bathroom.
This is a fantastic opportunity to grow with a down-to-earth and welcoming family. Greycoat Lumleys placed the family's last Nanny in 2023 and she is only left due to her visa expiring but would have loved to stay longer!
An up to date first aid certificate and police check are essential for this position.
