We are looking for an experienced nanny to support us in the care for our baby boy, who will be 3 months old.

The position is a mixture of sole charge and shared care, with occasional proxy parenting. The hours are flexible but would ideally start with 15-25 hours per week with a view to these being increased. Some evening babysitting, occasional weekends and travel (within UK and abroad, primarily over weekends) will also be required - however all of this would be planned well in advance.

We live in a fantastic location in Chelsea, very close to activities, parks, library and transport links.

The ideal candidate will have good qualifications and experience with babies, weaning and routines. A Nanny with a special interest or qualifications in early years development is highly advantageous in this role.

We are looking for someone who is happy to 'muck in' around the house - someone who is motivated and can show initiative, is caring and warm, with a calm demeanour and positive attitude. An engaging person who is neat, tidy and reliable.

We both often work from home so value our privacy and space - we are looking for someone who can be sensitive to this, who is discreet and trustworthy.

We are hoping to find someone who can become part of the family. If you are happy to cook and also do some tidying/helping around the house in spare time, this would be a bonus.
