Nanny

Job Summary:
A professional and experienced Live In Nanny is sought by a Swedish mum based in Chelsea (SW3), to support the care and long term development of her 10 month old son.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a degree educated nanny (childcare degree not essential) who is passionate about combining nurturing care with structured educational guidance, and who is seeking a long-term role (5+ years) within a calm and private household.

This little boy is happy, energetic, and curious. He thrives around warm, engaging, and positive adults, and is sociable and confident with both adults and other children.
He currently attends music classes three times per week and has regular swimming lessons. He has a cow’s milk allergy and a potential sensitivity to legumes (peas), so careful awareness of dietary requirements is essential.
At approximately 2.5 years old, he is expected to begin nursery, though he will continue to require consistent nanny support alongside his schooling.

The household is calm, private, and well organised. A dedicated nanny area adjacent to the kitchen is available and works very well for a live in arrangement
