Job Overview
A busy private family based in Knightsbridge is seeking an experienced, professional, and engaging Retainer Nanny with a mature approach to care for their three children, born in February 2015, March 2017, and October 2020. This is a retainer position, requiring the nanny to provide sickness cover as well as holiday cover for the children’s Rota Nannies. The family is looking for someone highly flexible and adaptable, who can ensure consistency of care at all times. This is a fully staffed household, so the main focus of the role is the care and wellbeing of the children. During school hours, the Retainer Nanny will be expected to assist with administrative duties and planning for evenings, weekends, and school holidays. The nanny must also be happy to travel, as the family travels within Europe and internationally during the school holidays.
