Packing/unpacking for travel.
Keeping children’s bedrooms, play and study areas organised.
Preparing healthy meals and snacks for the children.
Proxy parenting when required.
Accompanying the family on occasional travel.
Support children’s independence, accountability, and self-management.
Establish and maintain consistent, well-structured daily routines and complex diary management.
Provide guidance on etiquette, behaviour, and personal organisation.
Act as a positive role model, setting clear expectations and boundaries.
Liaise effectively with parents, schools, and the wider household team.

The ideal candidate will:
Have excellent previous nanny or manny experience with school-aged children.
Be confident working in formal, fully staffed households.
Be proactive, positive, discreet and highly organised.
Have a genuine interest in sport and active lifestyles.
Be calm, flexible and able to manage busy family schedules.
Hold a clean driving licence and be a confident driver.

The children attend school full-time and travel daily via the school bus from Chelsea.
