A busy professional mother based in Queen’s Park is seeking a highly organized, proactive, and flexible Nanny/Household Manager/PA to oversee a bustling household. The home includes two independent boys (aged 7 and 9) and a friendly golden retriever. 
 
This is a dynamic, hybrid role requiring a sharp eye for detail. The schedule will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The hours will initially be 7am-7.30pm and then from September onwards, 10am-7.30pm, except during school holidays when the schedule would be 8am-7.30pm.
 
The nanny will be working alongside a Tuesday/Thursday nanny who focuses heavily on childcare, and a cleaner who visits 3–4 days a week. The candidate’s primary objective is to keep the household running like clockwork, manage the family's logistics, and provide dedicated wrap-around childcare on their rostered days.

Responsibilities:
Childcare & Nanny Duties (M, W, F):
Coordinating after-school activity schedules and managing school pick-ups (shared with the housekeeper, as the boys attend different schools).
Cooking nutritious dinners for the children and occasionally prepping a simple salad or soup for the mother.
Overseeing homework, managing the bedtime routine, and providing wrap-around childcare. 
Household Management & PA Duties:
Complete organization and rotation of the children's wardrobes.
Food shopping, meal planning, and ensuring the fridge is organized and stocked.
Directing the housekeeper and managing daily household tasks (laundry is required; deep cleaning and ironing are handled by the cleaner).
Booking children's doctor appointments, managing household maintenance contractors, running errands, and purchasing birthday gifts.
Managing the golden retriever’s schedule, feeding, and arranging vet appointments
Travel & Overnight Care:
The mother travels to New York monthly for work. Whoever is on duty (you or the Tu/Th nanny) will be required to stay overnight to provide 24-hour wrap-around care.
Accompanying the family on trips, including summer holidays to Devon. Down-time when the family travels without you will be fully paid.

Requirements:
Proven track record in a similar hybrid Nanny/PA or House Manager role.
Exceptional attention to detail, highly proactive, organized, and physically active.
Genuine ability to accommodate late finishes, overnight stays, and travel.
Strong cooking skills for children's meals. Being a swimmer is a distinct advantage.
A confident driver is preferred. A car can be provided for work use, but it is not strictly essential if local logistics are met.
Must love dogs and have no pet allergies. The mother works from home on Fridays, so the candidate must be comfortable working alongside a home-based employer

Salary & Benefits:
£20 per hour
Paid holidays
Use of a vehicle during working hours if required
