Travelling Nanny
Overview
This is a truly exceptional opportunity for an experienced, adventurous Travelling Nanny to join a close-knit UHNW family who live life to the full.
Based between London, Ireland and Barbados, the family split their year across three stunning locations and they want their nanny along for every adventure. The successful candidate will work on a shared care basis alongside the mother and current Live-in Nanny, travelling with the family for all extended periods, including the full winter season in Barbados (typically November through March/April).
A Maternity Nurse will cover the new baby for the first 6 – 7 months, giving you time to settle in before your responsibilities grow. Both parents are hands-on and deeply involved in their children’s lives.
The family’s year looks broadly like this:
- Barbados: November – March/April
- London & Ireland: April – October
The Travelling Nanny will enjoy chef prepared meals in Barbados, full housekeeping support at every property, and overtime pay for any evening cover — all whilst living and working in beautiful surroundings with a family who genuinely values their nanny as part of the team.
Job duties
Responsibilities of the Travelling Nanny for three children, include:
- Providing nurturing, high-quality care for two energetic little boys (ages 3 and 1) and, from October 2026, a newborn baby

- Preparing fresh, nutritious meals for the children
- Managing all nursery duties — children’s laundry, keeping bedrooms and playrooms tidy
- Travelling internationally with the family, including the full winter season in Barbados
- Being flexible for occasional evening cover (compensated as overtime)
Candidates must be/have:
- Experience of working with babies and young children of similar ages, with strong references
- Someone who stays – longevity with previous families is highly valued
- Energetic, fun and playful with children, yet calm and professional with parents
- Genuinely excited by travel and completely comfortable being away from home for extended periods
