Family Background
The family live in a beautiful property in Camden, London.

She attends nursery 5 mornings a week and soon to add some full days at nursery to help in her lead up to school starting. Mum is pregnant and due her second (boy) in early 2022. When the baby arrives they will have a maternity nurse for the first few months to specifically help mum and baby. They have a full time current nanny who is moving on for personal reasons after a number of years, and they are keen to find an active, fun and down to earth new nanny. They have a part-time housekeeper, and a second property in the Hertfordshire countryside which they go to for the holidays. They have a cat so any prospective nanny must be cat friendly!
Duties
All childcare duties including working with the parents to establish healthy routines and rules, doing the nursery drop off and pick up, and school pick up and drop off from September, finding activities and taking the little girl to those activities including swimming, music and sport, organising and attending playdates, planning meals and cooking for the little girl.
You should be a professional career nanny, happy to focus on educational development for the little girl who has a passion for the outdoors and also bright, intelligent and also loves cuddles and arts and crafts. You should be happy to do the laundry for the child, and all nursery suites, and help plan fun activities.
