Part Time Nanny

A lovely young family based in South Kensington are looking for a proactive, warm and experienced nanny to care for their son, born November 2025.

The nanny will work on Thursdays and Fridays, alongside another nanny who covers Monday to Wednesday. Mum works from home and enjoys being involved in her son’s day, so the family are looking for someone collaborative and intuitive, who is comfortable working as part of a team while also confidently taking sole charge when required.

This is a long-term role suited to a nanny who is nurturing, organised and genuinely enjoys supporting babies through their early developmental stages.

General Schedule

Thursday: 9.30am–7.30pm
Friday: 9.30am–7.30pm

Some flexibility will be required on Fridays to cover occasional later evenings.

The family would also ideally like someone open to working one weekend day every four to six weeks, although this is not essential.

Travel

The family travel internationally and within the UK and would ideally like the nanny to accompany them for approximately two to three weeks during the summer.

During travel, the nanny would usually work five days per week and would be required to share a room with the baby.

For a nanny who prefers not to travel, some of the family’s summer absence would be a combination of paid annual leave and unpaid leave.

Salary

£20–£21 gross per hour, depending on experience.

This role would suit a warm, practical and proactive nanny who enjoys working closely with a family and is looking for a long-term, part-time position.
