A lovely family of five based in West Hampstead (NW6) are looking for either a Part-Time Afternoon Nanny or a Full-Time Nanny / Family Assistant to join their household on a long-term basis. You must have an excellent level of English (reading & homework supervision important).
The family are open to considering either a part-time afternoon nanny or a full-time nanny/family assistant, depending on the right candidate. The part-time role would focus primarily on the children’s after-school routines and childcare responsibilities, whereas the full-time role would combine childcare with approximately 20 hours per week of nursery duties and light family assistant responsibilities whilst the children are at school. Both opportunities offer the chance to become a valued, long-term member of this warm and welcoming family.
The family have three children aged 10 years old (B), 8 year old (G) and a 3 year old (B). Whilst there is another nanny who primarily cares for the youngest child, this role will focus mainly on the two older children, with around 10 hours per week spent with the 3-year-old, so previous toddler experience is essential.
Both parents work away from home, making this a sole-charge position, although the successful nanny will work closely alongside the family’s existing nanny. They are therefore looking for someone who enjoys being part of a supportive team and is happy to muck in where needed.
A confident driver is essential, and a family car will be available for use during working hours. The family are looking for someone who is exceptionally organised, proactive and able to confidently manage busy school routines, multiple uniforms, clubs, activities and ever-changing timetables. They would love to find someone who is warm, kind and affectionate, as the older children still enjoy their cuddles and are looking for a nanny who will become a valued part of their family for many years to come.
Start Date
ASAP July 2026, although the family are happy to wait approx a month for the right Candidate.

Full-Time Position
£65,500 gross per annum, depending on experience and qualifications (equivalent to Approx £25 gross hourly).
