A family in Clapham, SW4, is seeking an experienced French-speaking nanny to care for their 3-year-old child and newborn. This is a full-time, sole-charge position for someone who is confident caring for children at different stages and can provide a safe, nurturing, and well-organised environment. The older child attends nursery, so the role will include nursery drop-offs and pick-ups, along with full care of the newborn throughout the day. The nanny will be responsible for all usual nursery duties, including preparing meals, managing daily routines, organising playtime, and keeping the children’s areas tidy. The family would also like the nanny to plan and attend suitable activities with the children, including classes, clubs, swimming, playgroups, and local outings. The nanny will take an active role in the children’s day-to-day lives and support their development through play, conversation, and age-appropriate activities.
French is essential, as the family would like the nanny to speak French with the children and provide consistent exposure to the language. The ideal candidate will be caring, reliable, proactive, and confident taking full sole charge of both children when required. Previous professional experience with newborns and toddlers is essential, along with a genuine understanding of their individual routines and needs. Good communication with the parents is important, as is the ability to work independently and become a trusted part of the household.
The position is Monday to Friday for 48 hours per week. Salary is £22 gross per hour.
