Start Date: ASAP
We are seeking a highly professional, organised, and energetic Afternoon Nanny / Governess to join a warm and welcoming family based in Mayfair. This is a live-out, part-time position caring for two girls aged 4 and 10, both of whom attend school full-time.
The role will centre around supporting the children’s educational development and managing their day-to-day schedules. You will be responsible for overseeing homework, coordinating extracurricular activities, and ensuring a well-structured and engaging after-school routine. The position requires a proactive and capable individual who can confidently manage diaries, liaise with schools or tutors where necessary, and create a stimulating and supportive environment for the children to thrive in.
In addition to the after-school responsibilities, the role includes planning age-appropriate activities and be a positive role model for them both. You will also help maintain an active and well-balanced schedule, ensuring the children are fully prepared for their academic and social commitments.
There may be a requirement for slightly extended hours during school holidays, although the role will not typically become full-time during these periods. Flexibility to do longer hours in the school holidays or if traveling with the family by arrangement is required.
We are looking for a nanny who is naturally energetic, highly organised, and genuinely passionate about supporting children’s development. A fluent English speaker is required, and whilst Spanish language skills, as well as the ability to swim or ski, would be considered advantageous, they are not essential.
