A warm, relaxed, and down-to-earth family based in Kensington are looking for a loving, lively and energetic nanny to care for their two boys, aged 2 and 5, from Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm. The family live in a great location in an open-plan townhouse and are seeking someone who will fit naturally into their laid-back and informal family environment. This is a shared care role, as both parents are around and enjoy being actively involved with the children.
The salary on offer is between £22 and £25 gross per hour, (£51,480-£58,500 gross per annum) depending on experience. A driver is not required , although it would be considered a bonus. The family also have one cat, so the nanny must be comfortable around pets.
Their eldest son is high-functioning autistic and attends a local mainstream school. Experience working with children with autism would be hugely beneficial, although the family are equally keen to find someone who can offer a calm, nurturing, and level-headed presence, particularly during moments of dysregulation. They are looking for a qualified nanny with at least two years of experience who is fun-loving, caring, patient, and able to keep up with two active boys while maintaining a calm and grounded approach. The boys are a bundle of fun and love going out to parks, museums and shows.
The role will involve standard nursery duties, although there is no laundry required as the family employ a housekeeper. Mum enjoys cooking, so meal preparation will not always be necessary. Their youngest son is a fussy eater and has intolerances to dairy, soy, egg, and wheat, so the family would love someone who can make mealtimes fun and relaxed, helping him gradually explore new foods without pressure.
The family would ideally like someone to start on 9th June, although they can be flexible for the right person and are hoping to have someone in place before July if possible. Babysitting will also be required once per week.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a nurturing and committed nanny looking to build a long-term relationship with a lovely family in a vibrant part of London.
