Job Summary

A rota position has opened up with one of our wonderful London families. They are a kind warm international family is looking for an experienced responsible and fun completely fluent German French or Spanish speaking nanny to look after their 2 young north Notting Hill / North Kensington.

The position is 2 weeks on/ off. Live in or live out (the other rota nanny lives out - in London) When in London (most of the time) the hours are 7am til 7pm. If you live out you must live within a reasonable commute of their home in North Kensington. When travelling the hours are 24/14.

Start date is Jan/Feb but the family can be flexible for the right nanny. Rota 2wks on/ 2wks off. This is a rota position where you will work a 12 hour day for 14 days on (then 14 days off) in London. However the salary covers 24/14 so on occasion when the family is away or the parents are away for an evening you would be expected to stay over and be available for the full 24 hrs. Each shift of 14 days 12 hours per day is demanding therefore they need a nanny who lives close-by for the the commute or who lives in when on rota.

Their children are 4.5y nearly 3y and they expect a baby to join the family this year. the nearly 3y old will attend nursery this year and the eldest is at school. The new baby will initially have a maternity nurse.

Their current nanny (through Kinder Nannies) is super lovely and has been working for them for 2 yrs and their full time housekeeper has been working for them for many years. Their hope is the new rota nanny will also stay with them for years.

We are looking for a professional nanny with lots of energy initiative and warmth. Someone who will arrange plenty of fun activities and excursions including a social life for both children with playdates. Both parents work mum works partly from home. She will want to be able to see the children at lunch time or at a tea break during the day so nanny should be comfortable with this.

This young family enjoy a positive friendly and open environment at home. Mum explains that she likes good communication and for everyone to know what they are doing. Things work well for them and for the children when the structure and routine is followed. The parents believe this gives security to the children and makes for happier children (and everyone else in the home!).

The family keep a very clean and tidy house and it is important to the family that the nanny also likes it this way.

They are looking for a nanny who will be a long term part of their household/ family. They look after their staff and believe in give and take and giving each other flexibility when required eg. If the nanny wants to take extra holiday.

The family travel overseas during holidays to stay with their familys homes abroad. They spend summer at the beach house in New York (The Hamptons) and they spend time in southern France and Bavaria in Germany too. When they are abroad the rota schedule might be 3w on/off. They dont expect their rota nanny to stay with them longer than that at anytime. They will fly you home and the other nanny will be flown out to them.

The family lives in a large newly renovated house and employ other full time staff including a full time housekeeper.

Nanny should be experienced enough to be comfortable with shared care sole care and proxy-parenting.

This family does not have any pets but there is a very friendly dog at the grandparents beach house in New York.

It would be helpful if nanny could drive as this could be helpful for the job but also for the nanny themselves when abroad but driving is not needed in London.

This is a warm kind formal household. Please note the family is high profile and discretion is important.

The salary is 70000 gpa but there is always a very significant bonus and other payments throughout the year.
