A lovely, welcoming family based in Sloane Square, London is seeking an experienced, fun, and educationally focused Rota Nanny to care for their three school-aged children (ages 5, 9 and 12).
The family is looking for a bubbly, engaging and proactive nanny who can create a positive, nurturing and stimulating environment for the children. Someone who enjoys helping with homework, supporting with 11+ preparation, and encouraging learning through play and exploration will thrive in this role.
You’ll work on a 1 week on / 1 week off rota, so strong communication and teamwork skills are essential. The family have housekeepers and value a nanny who is organised, professional, and discreet.

The ideal candidate will be confident, capable, and highly organised, able to maintain routines, arrange activities and playdates, and adapt to the family’s dynamic schedule. A driver is preferred, and the nanny must be dog friendly, as the family has a lovely Bichon Frise.
