A lovely family from California is seeking a London-based, temp summer nanny in Central London to help care for their son, who will be 8 months old by the summer. The position will be from June 1st - September 1st, roughly 13 weeks. The general schedule will be Monday through Friday, 8-12 hour days, depending on the day, between the hours of 8am-8pm.
