Male Nanny
About the Family
Two brilliant, creative, curious children (B11 and G11). Both are fun, affectionate and thrive with adults who are calm, patient and emotionally attuned.
They are into:
- Music, art, coding, gaming, Lego
- Science and museums (the family are museum/science geeks - perks include exhibition & event tickets)
- Martial arts (Muay Thai & capoeira)
- Running around, animals, cooking
Additional needs:
B11: ADHD, very bright, needs someone who can channel energy positively
G11: Global developmental delay - receives speech, language, and occupational therapy, requires sensitive support and patience
Both children are sweet, happy and respond best to adults who are gentle and calm — no shouters, no rigid disciplinarians.
Core Responsibilities
Children & Home Support
- Tidying and maintaining an organised environment
- Preparing school items daily (uniforms, bags, activities)
- Cooking simple, healthy meals for the children (family are omnivores — must be comfortable cooking all foods)
- Engaging with the children — playing, exploring, chatting, getting involved in their interests
- Dog walking and general pet company (dogs are social, cats are independent)
- Provide emotional stability, comfort, and consistency when mum travels or works evenings
Optional / Depending on Skills
- PA support to mum (managing errands, light admin, organising)
- Help unpacking and organising following a house move
- House organisation systems (the household needs someone who actually enjoys tidiness and structure)
House & Pet Care
- When family travels, stay in the home to care for the dogs and cats
Who We’re Looking For
You will absolutely thrive in this role if you are:
- Naturally gentle, warm and emotionally intelligent
- Kind to animals (must genuinely enjoy being around dogs)
- Calm energy - not a “rules for rules’ sake” disciplinarian
- Flexible, reliable and steady (this is a freelance household; plans change)
- Organised - or at least willing to drive some household systems when mum is overwhelmed
- A long-term thinker, someone who wants to grow with the family
Growth Opportunities
This role will evolve as the children get older and more independent.
Future opportunities may include:
- Expanding into PA / household management
- Taking on projects within mum’s social enterprise / tech / creative work
- Owning organisational systems across the home and family life
- For the right person, this becomes more than “just” a nanny job — it becomes a stable, trusted role in the family’s life, with career progression outside of childcare if desired.
Benefits
- Guaranteed weekly hours
- Live-in option for comfort and stability
- Tickets to exhibitions, museums, art fairs and cultural events
- A fun, quirky, relaxed family atmosphere — no micro-management
- Room to grow the role into PA / admin / creative project support
Ideal Candidate Summary
A warm, grounded, emotionally intelligent person who loves kids, animals, and creating calm from chaos. Someone who sees mess and instinctively organises it. Someone who shows up, sticks around, and genuinely cares.
