We’re a family in Paddington looking for a warm, engaging and reliable nanny to care for our daughter three days a week when I go back to work in January 2027, when our daughter is 15 months old.

The role would primarily involve caring for Margot, including preparing her meals/snacks during the day, putting her down for her nap, taking her to activities/outings and generally keeping her happy while we’re at work. We’d also appreciate help keeping her things and play areas tidy during the day, but we’re not looking for a housekeeper.

We also have Fudge, our very friendly 3-year-old Labradoodle, so you’ll need to be comfortable having a dog around (being a dog person is definitely a bonus!).
