About the role
A warm, professional couple in West Hampstead (NW6) is looking for an experienced, capable nanny/housekeeper to become a trusted part of family life. We have two young boys — one starting Reception at a school in Mill Hill this September, and a baby attending a local nursery.

- Occasional evening/weekend babysitting and occasional family travel — always agreed in advance and paid/compensated separately.
