Job Overview: An experienced, professional and energetic Weekend Nanny is sought for a busy, sporty family based in Kensington, London. The family has five children aged 11, 10, 7, 5 and 1 and is looking for a confident, flexible and proactive nanny who enjoys working as part of a team. The position will primarily involve working Friday to Sunday on a live-out basis, with very occasional weekends when the nanny may be required to live in. In addition to the regular weekend schedule, the nanny will be required to work 6 full weeks per year, potentially increasing to 10 weeks, providing holiday and additional cover when the family are travelling or members of the nanny team are taking annual leave. During the week, the children are supported by a Rota Nanny, who has primary responsibility for the two younger children, alongside a Nanny-Governess who works Monday to Thursday and supports the three older children. At weekends, the Weekend Nanny will work alongside the Rota Nanny, providing additional support with the two younger children, whilst taking responsibility for ensuring the three older children are well cared for and supported in the absence of the Nanny-Governess. The Rota Nanny will retain primary responsibility for the youngest child, aged 1, whilst the eldest child, aged 11, requires relatively minimal support. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the parents, Rota Nanny and wider household staff, ensuring effective communication and a coordinated approach to childcare. The position may also involve international travel with the family, including trips throughout Europe and family ski holidays. There are no pets, and a driver is preferred.
