A lovely second-time family is seeking an experienced and supportive night nanny to assist once the father returns to work following paternity leave.
The family are keen to have help settling their baby into a gentle routine and would value guidance on supporting their baby’s ongoing development. They are looking for a confident, flexible, and knowledgeable candidate who brings both experience and a relatable, reassuring approach.
The ideal night nanny will be up to date with current guidelines, including safe sleep practices, and able to provide calm, practical support throughout the night.
The family would also welcome a candidate who may have occasional daytime availability, for example to assist with appointments, although this is not essential.
This role would suit someone warm, experienced, and adaptable, who can support the family in feeling confident and well-rested during this stage.
