Full/Part-Time Live-Out Nanny – West Dulwich, London

Start Date: Late August 2025
Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Children: One toddler (15 months old) and a newborn (due mid-September)
Location: West Dulwich, SE21
Pets: One friendly Chocolate Labrador (dog-lovers only!)

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

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
