Live in Nanny for 1yr old nr Woolwich, London

A lovely, welcoming family are looking for a kind, sensible, and nurturing live-in nanny to support them as they transition back to work with their young baby boy.

This is a first-time mum and dad who are very hands-on and devoted to their child, but both have demanding careers and would value the support of a calm and capable nanny to help create a smooth and happy daily routine at home.

Their little boy is a happy, healthy baby who especially enjoys books, music, sounds, and sensory play, so they would love someone who will engage him in a gentle, stimulating, and nurturing way while supporting his development.

The role will involve all typical nanny duties, along with some light housekeeping related to the child and areas you use during the day, such as keeping things tidy, helping with the dishwasher, and occasionally running the hoover over shared spaces. The family are looking for someone who takes a naturally organised and proactive approach, while still keeping the focus on the child’s care and wellbeing.

You will have your own comfortable bedroom and private bathroom within the family home, offering a lovely balance of personal space and integration into family life.

The ideal candidate will be warm, reliable, and emotionally intuitive, someone who can build a trusting relationship with both parents and child and become a valued part of their home.

The family are looking to interview immediately and would love to find someone who is excited to grow with them and support this special stage of family life.
