A warm and welcoming family of four in Hampstead is looking for a reliable, nurturing and confident nanny to join them on a long-term basis.
The family is looking for someone who will build a strong relationship with both children and encourage independence, good manners and learning through everyday life. They value free play and want a nanny who can provide kind but clear boundaries while creating a happy and supportive environment.

1 full day: 9:00am–6:30pm
1 longer day: 2:00pm–9:00pm
3 days: 2:00pm–6:30pm

Supporting the eldest child with homework and schoolwork
Taking the children to activities such as swimming and gymnastics
Arranging and facilitating playdates

Family Cooking
An important part of the role will be preparing a healthy family dinner five days per week.
The family can provide recipes and meal ideas but would also welcome the nanny’s own suggestions. The afternoon hours before school pick-up will provide dedicated time for cooking and light household duties.
The Ideal Nanny
The family is looking for someone who is warm, reliable, flexible, organised and confident caring for both a baby and a school-aged child.
Strong communication is important, along with the ability to take feedback and work collaboratively with the parents. The nanny should be comfortable encouraging independent play while also being proactive in arranging suitable activities and playdates.
A high standard of English is required to support the children’s language development and schoolwork. Dutch or Hebrew would be a bonus but is not essential.
Candidates will require an Enhanced DBS, Paediatric First Aid and excellent checkable references.
