FILLED CAREER NNEB NANNY — WEST LONDON
Permanent | Sole Charge | Monday–Friday, 10am–6pm
Salary: £130,000+ gross per annum, dependent upon experience
We are delighted to be recruiting an experienced NNEB-qualified career nanny for a family in West London, taking sole charge of their baby, who will be approximately 3 months old.
The baby is currently being cared for by an experienced NNEB maternity nurse, with whom the family have been extremely happy. They would now specifically like an NNEB-trained career nanny to continue their baby's care and development.
Both parents work full-time outside the home. This is a genuinely sole-charge position for a confident, knowledgeable and experienced nanny who is comfortable taking professional responsibility for the baby's day-to-day care, development and wellbeing.
Hours
Monday–Friday, 10am–6pm
The parents intend to alternate being home at approximately 5:30pm each evening, allowing time for a proper handover with the nanny before she finishes at 6pm.
Salary & Benefits
-
£130,000+ gross per annum, dependent upon experience, with room for the successful candidate to discuss the final package directly with the family
-
Permanent employed position
-
Enhanced employer pension contribution above the statutory minimum
-
Private healthcare
-
Five weeks' annual holiday
-
All bank holidays off
-
Christmas and New Year off
-
Separate apartment close to the family home available if required
-
Car provided for business and private use, including during the nanny's holidays
The position can be live-in or live-out.
The successful nanny will be able to choose a suitable car, within an agreed budget, which the family will purchase for her use. It will need to be practical for transporting the baby, pram and associated equipment.
The Role
The nanny will have sole charge of the baby and take responsibility for all aspects of the baby's daily care and nursery duties.
This will include providing warm, responsive and developmentally appropriate care; observing and monitoring the baby's development and wellbeing; supporting developmental milestones; and creating an enjoyable and stimulating daily routine as the baby grows.
Full nursery duties will include organising and maintaining the nursery and baby's belongings, baby's laundry, and purchasing clothing, equipment and supplies for the baby as required.
The nanny should enjoy getting out and about rather than spending the working week at home. The family would like someone who will research and attend appropriate baby and children's classes, arrange activities and play opportunities and develop a good local network with other professional nannies and families in the neighbourhood.
As the baby grows, the nanny should be confident adapting their care and activities throughout babyhood and into the toddler and preschool years.
Driving & Family Holiday Home
A confident driver with a clean driving licence is essential.
The family has a holiday home and, on some Fridays, the nanny will be asked to drive there with the baby during her working day.
The parents will travel to the holiday home after finishing work and take over the baby's care on arrival. The nanny will then be off duty for the weekend and can return home in her allocated car.
This will not necessarily be required every Friday.
The Nanny
The family is looking for a professional career nanny who genuinely enjoys caring for babies and young children and would ideally like to establish a long-term working relationship with a family.
Applicants must:
-
Hold a genuine NNEB qualification — essential
-
Have substantial professional nanny experience
-
Have excellent experience caring for babies from approximately 3 months onwards
-
Have experience caring for children beyond the baby stage
-
Have excellent knowledge of child development
-
Be confident observing children's development and supporting their individual needs and milestones
-
Be warm, responsive and child-centred in their approach
-
Be proactive, organised and confident working autonomously
-
Be sociable and enjoy getting out and about with the baby
-
Be a confident driver with a clean driving licence
-
Have excellent communication skills and be comfortable working collaboratively with two busy professional parents
This is not simply a supervisory childcare position. The family is looking for an experienced NNEB professional who can use the breadth of their training, knowledge and experience to take genuine responsibility for their child's care, development and wellbeing.
The family hopes to establish a positive and long-term relationship with their nanny, built upon mutual respect, excellent communication and a shared commitment to their child's wellbeing.
Start Date
Around the end of September 2026, with some flexibility for the right candidate.
The family would ideally like the successful nanny to start in time to complete a proper handover with their current NNEB maternity nurse, providing continuity of care and a smooth transition for the baby, parents and incoming nanny.
