Family Lifestyle Assistant (Childcare & Household Management)

Private Family Support Childcare Household Management

London & Kent | Part-time & Full-time Opportunities

£18.00–£30.00 per hour | Full-time salaries negotiable depending on experience

Exceptional candidates supporting some private and London-based families may achieve remuneration packages in excess of £60,000 per annum.

About Root & Nest

Root & Nest provides thoughtful, practical support to busy professional and high-net-worth families across London and Kent.

We believe exceptional family support is about much more than childcare or housekeeping. It's about helping families create calmer homes, better routines and more time together.

Our Family Lifestyle Assistants become trusted members of the household, combining childcare, household management and practical lifestyle support in one rewarding and varied role.

Every family is different, so every placement is carefully matched to ensure the best fit for both our clients and our team.

The Role

As a Family Lifestyle Assistant (Childcare & Household Management), you'll provide practical day-to-day support tailored to each family's needs.

No two days are the same.

One morning you may be preparing children for school, organising the family home and preparing a nutritious evening meal.

Another day you could be coordinating household services, helping prepare for a family holiday, organising children's bedrooms, or creating an engaging outdoor activity in the garden.

This is a proactive role for someone who enjoys helping life run smoothly and naturally notices what needs doing before being asked.

Your Responsibilities

Depending on the family, your responsibilities may include:

Childcare & Family Support

Providing warm, attentive and age-appropriate care
School and nursery runs
Planning engaging activities and outings
Supporting homework and learning
Preparing nutritious meals and snacks
Supporting children's appointments and extracurricular activities
Helping establish positive daily routines
Communicating professionally with parents

Some families may also request support while travelling within the UK or overseas for holidays, business trips or extended stays. Where appropriate, you may be invited to accompany the family, with all travel arrangements, accommodation, expenses and remuneration agreed in advance.

Household Management

Laundry, ironing and wardrobe organisation
Meal preparation
Kitchen and household resets
Shopping and errands
Organising children's bedrooms and family spaces
Keeping household essentials stocked
Liaising with cleaners, gardeners and other household professionals
Helping create practical systems that keep family life organised

We're looking for someone who is naturally proactive—someone who notices that the washing needs folding, the school bags need preparing or the fridge needs restocking and simply gets on with it.

Outdoor Learning & Kitchen Gardens

A unique part of the Root & Nest approach is encouraging children to spend meaningful time outdoors.

Where families have gardens or growing spaces, you may help children:

Plant seeds and grow vegetables, herbs and flowers
Harvest fruit and vegetables
Bake or cook using home-grown produce
Learn about nature and the changing seasons
Enjoy creative outdoor activities

No gardening experience is required—we'll provide training.

Root & Nest also offers dedicated Kitchen Garden & Outdoor Learning sessions delivered by team members with a passion for gardening and nature-based learning. Lifestyle Assistants with an interest in these areas may have opportunities to become involved in these specialist experiences.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for people who are:

Warm, kind and emotionally intelligent
Naturally organised and proactive
Calm, dependable and trustworthy
Professional, discreet and respectful of family privacy
Comfortable working independently
Excellent communicators
Passionate about supporting children and families

Experience in any of the following would be particularly valued:

Nanny
Household Manager
Housekeeper
Family PA
Teaching Assistant
Learning Support Assistant
Nursery Practitioner
Independent School
SEN Support
Private Household
Childcare

Why Join Root & Nest?

Unlike traditional agencies, we focus on building long-term relationships between families and Lifestyle Assistants.

We carefully match every placement based on personalities, values and lifestyles, helping create rewarding working relationships where both families and Lifestyle Assistants can thrive.

We offer:

Competitive hourly rates
Full-time salaries negotiated according to experience and client requirements
Opportunities to work with professional, executive and high-net-worth families
Structured onboarding through the Root & Nest Academy
Ongoing training and professional development
Flexible part-time and full-time opportunities
Carefully matched family placements
A supportive and growing professional team

Essential Requirements

Right to work in the UK
Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (preferred for many placements)
Enhanced DBS certificate (or willingness to obtain one)
Excellent references
High standards of professionalism and discretion

Salary & Benefits

£18.00–£30.00 per hour
Part-time and full-time opportunities
Full-time salaries are negotiable depending on experience, responsibilities and client requirements
Exceptional candidates supporting some private and London-based families may receive remuneration packages exceeding £60,000 per annum
Company events
Discounted or free food
Structured training and career development

Join Root & Nest

If you're looking for more than "just another childcare job" and want to build a rewarding career supporting families in a meaningful way, we'd love to hear from you.

At Root & Nest, we're building a team of exceptional people who take pride in creating calmer homes, happier families and enriching childhoods—one family at a time.
