Nanny

A warm, busy family based in Islington are seeking a proactive and highly organised Nanny/Manny-Family PA to support their two children (aged 15 and 13) and help keep the household running smoothly including ideally walking the dog (cavapoo).

This is a fantastic long-term role for someone who enjoys working with older children and can confidently balance childcare with household organisation and PA duties.

The Children
- 15-year-old boy – lively, bright and independent, with ADHD. A talented musician (drummer in school jazz and big band, also learning jazz piano), with interests in tennis and cycling.
- 13-year-old girl – bright, sporty and sociable, plays netball for school and club.

The Role
During term time, the role will primarily focus on after-school care and organisation, alongside light PA duties (including dog walking). During school holidays, full-day cover will be required.

Key responsibilities include:
- School pick-up (daughter at 4pm)
- Cooking healthy, family-style meals for the children
- Managing school uniforms, laundry, and general organisation of children’s belongings
- Purchasing clothes, gifts, and essentials for the children
- Organising social activities, playdates, and holiday plans
- Supporting with logistics such as scheduling activities and appointments
- Light PA duties (food shopping, dry cleaning, booking services, liaising with contractors, organising car servicing, etc.)
- Dog walking (ideally)
- Driving to activities (particularly netball training – driver preferred)
- A cleaner is also employed on a daily basis, so no heavy housekeeping is required.

Hours
Term Time (Flexible):
- Typically Monday–Friday, 12:30pm–7:30pm (guaranteed 7 hours/day)
- Open to reduced afternoon hours (e.g. 3:00pm–7:30pm) for someone that didn't want to include light housekeeping and other family assistant duties. Salary adjusted accordingly.

School Holidays:
- Full-time cover required, typically 7:30am–7:30pm (Mon–Fri)
- Some flexibility (e.g. 10:00am–7:00pm may be considered)
- The family travels extensively during holidays and you will not be required to travel with the family. This means, you will often be paid for full-time hours without working the full period. You will be expected to take your annual leave during these times (e.g. August).

Location
- Based in Islington
- Son attends school in Mill Hill
- Daughter attends school in Highgate

Start Date
- Ideally the beginning of July 2026, but flexible
- Earlier or September starts are considered for the right candidate

The Ideal Candidate
- Highly organised, proactive, and able to take initiative
- Have a sunny disposition, able to have fun with the children
- Must be confident and experienced at managing older children and supporting independence
- Warm but structured approach (particularly important for supporting ADHD)
- Strong cooking skills for family meals
- Driver preferred
- Comfortable balancing childcare with PA-style responsibilities

Salary
- Competitive, based on experience
- Structured as a blended annual salary to reflect term-time and holiday hours
