Live-Out Nanny - London

We are working with a warm, friendly family based in Marylebone to help them find an experienced full-time Nanny for their two boys. This is a wonderful opportunity for a nurturing, highly organised professional to become a valued part of the children's daily lives, working within a household that offers stability, warmth and genuine autonomy in the role.

Mum is often at home but allows the Nanny a good degree of independence, while Dad works full-time and travels frequently. The boys, aged 9 and 5, are happy, healthy and active, enjoying different activities. One of the boys has well-managed nut, egg, sesame and coconut allergies, so the family would appreciate a Nanny who is confident and conscientious in managing this responsibly. A cleaner attends three times a week to support with general housekeeping, leaving the Nanny to focus on the children and their day-to-day needs.

The role follows a term-time wrap-around structure, offering a split schedule with mornings and afternoons focused on the children, while the middle of the day remains free. During school holidays, the role moves to fuller daytime hours. A car is provided for the school runs and day-to-day errands.
