Overview
The successful candidate should be active, hardworking and a self-starter. The family would also love for the nanny to be a French speaker as this is a bilingual French/Australian home, however this is absolutely not essential.
The little boy is happy and in a very good routine. He will be starting nursery in September for 3 hour mornings Monday-Friday – he also enjoys going to classes, groups, playdates and activities. This is a shared care role – both parents are home with the mother being very present and involved, and the father working from a home office. The current nanny is leaving because of a change to her personal circumstances – ideally there will be a handover period of a couple of weeks to transition care to the new nanny.
The working days are Monday to Friday, 12 hours per day on a flexible schedule (for example starting later sometimes to accommodate a dinner or starting earlier to allow the parents to get to a morning commitment). The nanny would also have the monitor overnight although it is very rare for the little boy to wake.
The nanny needs to have a relaxed yet professional approach and recognise their role as being there to provide excellent care to the little boy and to support the parents.
The family have a beautiful home in Kensington which is 5 minutes walk to Kensington High Street. The nanny would have their own private bedroom and ensuite bathroom (Monday to Friday).
There is minimal travel in the role, but if the family do travel the nanny may go with them depending on the situation.
The family employ a housekeeper 5 days a week who does the baby’s laundry in general. All other nursery duties need to be completed by the Nanny including preparing fresh nutritious meals.
A driver is not needed.
The family have a 4 year old Golden Retriever who has a dog walker. He’s trained and very friendly
