A warm, professional, and outdoorsy family located in Gerrards Cross is looking for a kind, nurturing, and fun nanny to join them long-term and become a valued part of their lives.
A live-in candidate is preferred, with a private bedroom and bathroom provided, as well as full access to the house and a home gym. However, live-out candidates will also be considered. The salary will be adjusted accordingly.
You will be required to work Monday to Friday, 08:30–18:00 (47.5 hours/week), with some flexibility preferred, depending on circumstances (e.g., business travel, family outings, special events), to be agreed together with the nanny. There could be occasional additional evenings and weekends (with advance notice and paid as overtime).
There could be occasional travel with the family (not required, but strongly preferred).
You’ll be joining a warm, respectful household that values collaborative parenting, open communication, and clear, kind boundaries. The parents aim to create a warm, structured environment built on mutual respect and open dialogue. They value a nanny who can align with their emotionally intelligent, consistent approach.
You will have sole charge of two cheerful, bilingual children – a two-year-old boy and an almost six-year-old girl. The main focus of the role will be the younger child, especially while his sister is at school. He will start part-time pre-school in January 2026, transitioning to full-time by May. The role will continue during school hours, though working hours may shift (to be agreed together). You’ll also care for the older child in the afternoons, during school holidays, and when she’s unwell.
Both parents work – Mum from home full-time, and Dad occasionally from home. They handle the morning and evening routines, including getting the children ready for school and bedtime.
Responsibilities:
1. Providing attentive care for the toddler during the day.
2. Supporting the older child after school, on holidays, and sick days.
3. Creating engaging, educational, screen-free activities appropriate to both ages.
4. Organising outings, playdates, and group activities.
5. Preparing healthy, home-cooked meals (veggie-first, mostly gluten free)
6. Handling nursery duties (children’s laundry, keeping their spaces tidy).
7. Supporting the family with light household help, such as cleaning the kitchen after breakfast and dinner, and tidying up common areas used during the day.
8. Driving the children as needed (a duty car is provided).
A Polish-speaking nanny would be a bonus, but this is not required.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a professional, dedicated nanny who’s looking to build a long-term relationship with a welcoming and appreciative family.
