Overview
The nanny needs to have a relaxed yet professional and responsible approach – they will ideally have had longevity with previous families and must have experience working with babies and children of similar ages.
The family’s previous nanny was with them for 2 years and left to go on maternity leave, the current nanny has been with the family since October 2025 and the family are looking for a second nanny to support them as their family grows. The baby will have a maternity nurse for the first 6-7 months.
The children are happy and in good routines. This is a shared care role with the mother and current nanny. Both parents are very involved in the lives of their children – the father works from home in London and in Barbados.
The role is 5 days per week, 12 hours per day either starting at 7am/7.30am with some flexibility for evening cover (paid as overtime) and in the event that the family need to travel or need sole charge proxy parent care for the children. There is flexibility with the 2 days off per week and will be worked with the other nanny so that the family have nanny cover for all 7 days in a week.
