Nanny-Personal Assistant

Daily Nanny / Family Assistant, Live-Out – North London

We are working with a warm and welcoming family in North London to help them hire a full-time, live-out Nanny / Family Assistant. After four wonderful years, the family’s current nanny is moving on, and as the children have grown, the family’s needs have naturally evolved. They are now seeking an experienced nanny who will provide excellent childcare alongside family administration and household support.

The family genuinely value their staff and love spending time with their two children, aged 7 and 4, who both attend school full-time. This makes it an ideal position for an experienced nanny who particularly enjoys working with school-aged children and would like to develop into a Nanny / Family Assistant role. The family already employ a long-standing housekeeper of six years, so this is not a housekeeping position; the focus will be on the children, family organization and helping the household run smoothly.

The ideal start date is January 2027, although an earlier start would be considered for the right candidate. There are no pets in the home.

You MUST have the right to live and work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not offered for this position.

Key Responsibilities
Collect the children from school and accompany them to after-school activities, clubs and appointments
Plan and coordinate the children’s after-school schedules, including engaging, age-appropriate and educational activities

The role requires some flexibility on occasion, for example if a child is unwell or the parents are unexpectedly unable to take the children to school. These situations are expected to be very rare, but the family would appreciate someone who is able to step in when needed.
