An Italian/German couple is looking for a tip top professional Nanny to help look after their trilingual children - a gorgeous little boy 4 years old who’s currently in reception every day until 3.25pm and a sweet little girl 17 months old who will be home with the nanny until she's 2.5 years old ( 2 academic years). The parents both work long hours (dad is an entrepreneur and mum a tech exec) and with no family close by, their nanny in the past has been a truly third parent and full member of the family. They’re currently based in Primrose Hill but they might be moving closer to Hampstead in the new year to a bigger house.
They're looking for someone who can be very flexible, unflappable and proactive. Discipline is important but love, cuddles and truly listening to the children's POV & needs rule in their house.
Previous experience in 50+ hours a week roles is essential as they’re looking for Monday-Friday 9am -7.30pm with a willingness to travel with them 2-3 weeks a year and occasional evenings (agreed in advance and additionally paid).
Responsibilities are the usual ones - looking after the children, organising interesting activities, playdates, classes and loads of outdoor time, cooking for them, cleaning their clothes if accidents happen (general laundry will be taken care of by the housekeeper ), tidying up. Openness to occasionally emptying the dishwasher or folding dry clothes if their housekeeper is not around.
Lastly, the nanny needs to have experience managing multiple children as a full time nanny and managing doctor’s appointments/emergencies if needed.
Salary offered is ~£60k gross a year depending on experience
An Italian or German speaker is a big plus otherwise native English.
