Kinder Nannies & Staff is delighted to support one of our long‑standing, genuinely lovely families in Notting Hill. They currently employ two of our rota nannies, and all are extremely happy. They are now seeking to replace one of the nannies who has to leave due to a change in personal circumstances. They are therefore looking for a new special rota nanny to join their household team for a long‑term partnership.
About the Family
This is a warm, grounded, and welcoming household with two delightful school‑aged daughters. The girls are kind, bright, outdoorsy, and thrive with a nanny who is loving, calm, and fully engaged in their world. The family also has a cat and two friendly dogs, so a genuine pet lover is essential.
Mum works full‑time and is wonderfully open, kind, and easy to collaborate with. The role involves a natural blend of sole and shared care, and the nanny will be a trusted part of the parenting team.

- Dog walking
- Tidying and maintaining children’s areas

Why This Role Is Special
This is a genuinely happy, stable, and appreciative household. They value their staff, treat them with kindness, and want their nanny to feel at home and part of the family team. Mum is supportive of the nanny having personal time during school hours (gym, walk, meeting a friend). If mum is around in the evening, she is often happy for nanny to out and meet friends.
Mum works and this role is a mix of sole care and shared care. You need to be ok with mum being around. Mum is really lovely, easy to chat to, open minded and very kind.
They are looking for a flexibly minded, down to earth nanny who is happy to muck in. Someone with the right attitude, putting the family and in particular girls first is essential.
The children are very outdoorsy, so a nanny who is genuinely outdoorsy too would be important for them. They are allowed limited screen time at the weekends, and sugar is not forbidden. A balance is important.
