Nanny-Housekeeper

Looking for an experienced, warm and engaged nanny to care for our 2-year-old daughter and provide light housekeeping support around the childcare. Our daughter attends pre-school each weekday morning, so this role starts in the early afternoon. Childcare is the priority of this role, with household support fitted around it.

Childcare responsibilities
- Warm, engaged and attentive afternoon care for our daughter
- Age-appropriate activities and play — park trips, playdates, simple learning activities
- Supporting healthy routines around nap and bedtime
- Preparing meals and snacks for our daughter
- Keeping her play areas, bedroom and belongings tidy
- Occasional evening/weekend babysitting (paid separately, by arrangement)

Household responsibilities (light housekeeping)
- Children's and family laundry (washing, folding)
- General tidying and organising — fridge, cupboards, wardrobes
- Light vacuuming and everyday tidiness
- Cooking simple meals for the family when time allows (a bonus, not essential)

This is light housekeeping, not deep cleaning — household tasks fit around nap time and preschool hours, and childcare always takes priority when our daughter is present.

We're looking for someone who is:
- Experienced with toddlers, warm and genuinely engaged in play
- Calm and adaptable when routines shift
- Proactive — brings ideas and activities rather than waiting to be directed
- Fluent in spoken and written English
- Organised, reliable and professional
- Trustworthy, discreet and respectful of our home
- Non-smoker

Essential requirements:
- Strong references
- Enhanced DBS
- Paediatric First Aid
- Right to work in the UK

Role details:
- Start date: September 2026
- Salary: £23–25 gross per hour
- Hours: 30 hours/week, Monday–Friday, 1pm–7pm (some flexibility of ±1 hour on start/end time for the right candidate)
- Location: St John's Wood, NW8
- Employment type: Part time, permanent, live out
