Nanny / Family Cook, London

Silver Swan is currently seeking a helpful, flexible Nanny / Cook for a lovely young family of 4 based in St Johns Wood, North London. The successful Nanny / Cook will be working on a shared charge basis with Mum, who works from home and is very hands on with her two boys, aged 2.5 and 8 months. There are two other Housekeepers employed, so the Nanny / Cook will not be required to carry out any housekeeping duties.

We are looking for a Nanny / Cook who can be a general source of support for the family as well as looking after the children. The eldest boy is in nursery locally. The children are both very outgoing and friendly, and the family would like a Nanny / Cook who can be creative and educational with them – reading, arts & crafts, educational activities etc. This is quite a formal household, but the family are very friendly and welcoming.
