Overview

A family visiting London (staying near Hyde Park/Kensington) are seeking an experienced temporary nanny to support them for a short-term booking. The nanny will care for two children: a 5-month-old infant and a 4-yearold. The family will typically be at home, with the possibility of one evening out for dinner (a taxi is provided if it runs late), and daytime outings such as trips to the park. Working dates are 30 July – 2 August 2026, approximately 9am–9pm (12 hours) daily. Live-out role. Household staff will be present throughout the trip, though the nanny may be trusted to work sole charge once rapport is established.

  • Comforting and soothing the infant as needed

Qualifications

  • Warm, nurturing and highly experienced with infants
