Live-in Nanny
Overview
Our client, a lovely family based in Kensington, is looking for an active, hardworking, and positive Live-in Nanny to care for their nine-month-old baby boy in a shared care capacity.
He is a happy baby with a well-established routine, and his parents are keen for him to attend classes, groups, and playdates to support his development. Both parents are at home – his mother is present, while his father works from a home office. The family’s current Maternity Nurse will be leaving in May, and they would like a handover period of a few weeks to ensure a smooth transition for the new Live-in Nanny.
