Nanny jobs in United Kingdom

Job Description

Kind and easy young European family looking for a warm, nurturing, experienced nanny to work with their family for 3 days over the weekend (Sat & Sun and Friday). They have a full time, 4 day per week nanny and now just need help on the other days.

Mum is on maternity leave at the moment, so this 3 day weekend position will run until mum returns to work (in March or April 2026). At that point she will need a full time weekdays nanny and a 2 day weekend nanny (just Sat and Sundays).

They are looking for a nanny-housekeeper / family assistant, someone who is able to work alongside the parents, in team work and help out with children, activities, cooking, putting a wash on etc.

They are looking for a nanny who fits well with them and will stay with them for years - their current nanny has been happily with them for 3 years.

The family would like nanny to travel with them to the countryside one weekend per month and accompany them when they travel overseas.

Nanny should be gentle, caring and patient. Never speaking roughly nor treating the children roughly.

The family has a cleaner.

Location : Kensington, W8

This is a European family settled long term in the UK. Preference for a Spanish speaking nanny.

Starting : asap

Salary : £25 or £26 gross per hour.

• Settled Status or UK passport
• English speaking. & Spanish if possible
• Nanny and light housekeeping
• All typical duties related to the children, both at home and outside. Following their routine, picking them up from school, and taking them to and from activities or play dates depending on the work schedule. Tidying rooms, laundry, engaging in play and supporting their growth etc.
• All light housekeeping duties. Apart from taking care of the children, they have experience doing light housekeeping : cooking for the family or kids, keeping the house tidy, ironing or vacuuming, doing laundry if necessary, and cleaning the bathrooms, wiping dust, etc. We’ll need help around the house because the children don’t occupy all of the working hours, but the main cleaning is done by a cleaner. It’s a matter of mindset and willingness to help with other tasks, rather than the main function. It would otherwise become complicated when we travel or during weekends, since at those times we spend more time with the children ourselves. Flexibility is important to us. We understand it works both ways.
