We are seeking a highly professional, organised, and energetic Afternoon Nanny / Governess to join a warm and welcoming family based in Mayfair. This is a live-out position caring for two girls aged 4 and 10, both of whom attend school full-time.

The role will focus on supporting the children’s educational development while managing their day-to-day schedules and after-school routine. You will be responsible for overseeing homework, coordinating extracurricular activities, managing diaries, and liaising with schools, tutors, and activity providers where required. The successful candidate will create a structured, engaging, and nurturing environment where both children can flourish academically and socially.

Alongside educational support, you will plan stimulating and age-appropriate activities, encourage independence and confidence, and act as a positive role model. You will ensure the children are organised and fully prepared for their academic, extracurricular, and social commitments while maintaining a happy and balanced routine.

Additional hours may be required during school holidays, although the role will not typically become full-time during these periods. Flexibility to work longer hours during holidays and to travel with the family by prior arrangement is essential.

We are looking for a nanny who is naturally energetic, highly organised, proactive, and genuinely passionate about supporting children’s development. A fluent English speaker is essential, while Spanish language skills, along with the ability to swim or ski, would be advantageous but are not essential.

Interviewing now for an ASAP start.

Requirements:

  • Legal right to live and work in the UK
  • Proven experience in a similar nanny or governess role
  • Excellent, checkable references
  • Up-to-date DBS (or willingness to obtain one)
