We are looking for a fabulous Temporary Nanny/Housekeeper for a family in London. This family of five are looking to hire a hardworking and professional Nanny to look after their 11-year-old son whilst also supporting existing staff with housekeeping to maintain a high level of cleanliness in their 5-bedroom home.

This role will mainly focus on the Nanny responsibilities. This will include picking him up from school, dropping him off at friends and after-school activities, supervising his screen time and assisting with homework when he needs help. You will be experienced in providing healthy snacks, and will also be competent in providing suitable evening meals.

You will be working alongside the permanent housekeeper and assisting with housekeeping duties in between your nanny responsibilities. Daily housekeeping duties include the general tidiness and upkeep of the property, laundry and ironing, taking in deliveries, and putting away grocery orders.

You will have confidence in looking after similar-aged children, and enjoy the busy schedule this encompasses. The ideal candidate will understand how to draw the boundary between being authoritative and friendly but you should also be fun, energetic, and warm as well as kind and caring. Experience in both housekeeping and childcare is highly desirable for this role as the client is looking to hire someone long-term. Proven longevity is a must-have! The family also have two dogs who will be cared for equally between you and the other housekeeper.

Working hours will be Monday to Friday from 1pm – 7:30pm/8pm during term time, however, flexibility will be required as you may need to do some babysitting in the evenings.
