A lovely family based in Hampstead Heath is looking for a warm, reliable, and flexible nanny to be on call ahead of the arrival of their second baby.
The role involves caring for their older child when Mum goes into labour. Their little boy attends nursery from 8:00am to 6:00pm each weekday, so care will mainly be required during the evenings, with the possibility of weekend support depending on when labour begins.
The family would like the successful nanny to spend some time getting to know their son before the baby arrives, helping him feel comfortable and familiar with you before care is needed. They are looking for someone with previous childcare experience who is calm, nurturing, and able to provide a reassuring presence during this exciting time.
This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced nanny seeking a flexible, short-term role supporting a lovely family as they welcome their newest addition.
