Experienced nanny available: hours across Mon-Fri mornings / school hours: good for baby & toddler help, e.g. could support a mother on mat leave or at transition of return to work - please get in touch 

 

We have an experienced (>20yrs, nursery-nurse/childcare qualifications, middle sibling of five, raised her nephews), unflappable, fun, and hugely reliable (43-year-old) nanny who we love and have worked with for nine years. References from us and previous employers available.

 

We need less of her time these days. We are entering new nanny-share arrangement with another family Spring 2026 but whilst that mother is still on mat leave we have some nanny ‘hours’ available across Mon-Fri and would like to keep our nanny occupied (and happy, not bored) and recoup some of the cost. 

 

She is British, grew up in South London, and is Streatham-based herself. English her first language. She knows the Herne Hill, Dulwich Village, West Dulwich areas very well from child-activities point-of-view, plus wider areas including East Dulwich and Streatham a bit. She is familiar with many baby/toddler/children groups and venues. She would be quick to find the same in adjacent, currently-less-super-familiar-to-her areas.

 

She is expert in ages/stages for child development and building littles ones up. She is proactive at getting them out-and-about and being active / doing things. Easy emphasis of outside time, arts and crafts, baking. Us and previous employers note her strength in caring for pre-schoolers to early-years school-age children.

 

She is a safe and reliable pair of hands. She is organised, tidy and efficient. Children love her. She has on-going relationship with children -now teenagers- she has cared for in the past. She has had one day of sick leave in over nine years. She is very flexible on leave arrangements only rarely asking for particular dates herself.

 

She does not drive – she walks everywhere or takes the bus or train (with children, no problem, not phased).

 

We are Herne Hill-based but willing to chat to those further off about a possible ‘share arrangement either temporary or permanent. Please be in touch here first.
