We are a warm, growing family based in West Dulwich looking for an experienced, nurturing, and proactive live-out nanny to join us long-term as we welcome our second child in September 2025.

Our cheerful and curious 15-month-old son will soon be joined by a newborn sibling. We’re seeking someone who can support both children, often caring for one at a time (alternating half or full days). A flexible and team-oriented approach will be essential as we navigate this new chapter.

Key Responsibilities:

• Daily care for one child at a time (baby or toddler), depending on needs

• Age-appropriate activities, outings, and socialisation (parks, playgroups, classes)

• Child-related housekeeping:

  • Meal prep and tidying up after meals

  • Toy rotation and play space organisation

  • Occasional children’s laundry

• Supporting gentle routines and development

• Keeping a warm, engaging, and attentive atmosphere

• Light dog interaction (letting the dog in/out, being comfortable around a large, friendly dog)

---

Important September Requirement:

Availability at short notice when labour begins in September is essential. This may include overnight care at our home for our toddler during the hospital stay. Please apply only if you can confidently commit to this level of support during this period.

Ideal Candidate:

• Fluent in English

• Warm, nurturing, and engaging

• Confident caring for two children under 2

• Organised, reliable, and proactive

• Pet-friendly and confident around dogs

• Open to occasional evening/weekend babysitting and possible family travel

Bonus (but not required):

• Light housekeeping

• Cooking (family meals or batch cooking welcome)

• Dog walking (occasional help appreciated)

This is a lovely long-term opportunity for the right person to become an important part of our family’s journey. We look forward to hearing from you!

We kindly ask that you send your CV to [email protected]. We are going to interview all potential nannies over the next couple weeks (likely initially over video).

 

Thank-you,

Chiara & Calum
