Experienced baby nanny W1J

Job Specification

A warm and welcoming young family based in the heart of Mayfair are seeking an experienced, nurturing live-out nanny to care for their first baby.

This is a lovely long-term opportunity for a professional nanny with extensive baby experience who would enjoy becoming a valued part of the household and building a lasting relationship with the family.

The position will involve a combination of sole-charge and shared care, working alongside a hands-on mother. The family are looking for someone confident and knowledgeable who can offer gentle guidance and reassurance while respecting the parents' preferences and approach to childcare.

The successful nanny will have excellent knowledge of infant development, feeding, weaning and sleep routines, with a genuine interest in supporting the baby's developmental milestones.

A warm, approachable personality, good sense of humour, excellent English and the ability to maintain discretion and professional boundaries are particularly important.

The family travel regularly throughout Europe and Dubai and would like their nanny to accompany them when required. Travel arrangements and any additional remuneration will be discussed with shortlisted candidates.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

• Providing attentive, nurturing care for the baby.
• Supporting feeding, weaning and sleep routines.

• Preparing and packing the baby's belongings for outings and travel.
• Accompanying the family on international trips.
• Working collaboratively with the parents while providing knowledgeable childcare support.

• Excellent knowledge of infant development, feeding, sleep routines and weaning.
• Confidence in both sole-charge and shared-care environments.
