A wonderful Temporary Nanny opportunity supporting a growing family in Kensington, caring for a young baby whilst helping their lively toddler transition into nursery.


Job Summary

A warm and welcoming family in Kensington are looking for an experienced Maternity Nanny to join them for six weeks as they settle into life with their new baby. With Mum at home, this is a collaborative role supporting both children and helping the household run smoothly.
