Hours: Mon–Fri, 8:30am–5:30pm 

Location: Family home near N22 7XA. School pick-up: local school in Highgate (approx. 10–15 minute drive from home). Candidate ideally lives locally / short commute.

Children:

- Plan and deliver age-appropriate play, learning and early developmental activities for both children; encourage language, curiosity and independence.
- Prepare healthy meals for the children; batch-cook staples; encourage family mealtimes and conversation.
- Regular local outings (parks, toddler groups, activities) and home-based play (crafts, reading, messy play) — balance of trips out and in-home engagement.
- Maintain a safe, tidy environment; basic housekeeping related to children (washing bottles, children’s laundry, tidying play areas).
- Good communication with parents (daily updates, development notes).
- Occasional babysitting desirable (candidate open to evening babysitting).

Desirable/essential skills & experience:
- Proven nanny experience with infants and preschoolers; strong references.

- Comfortable cooking healthy meals for children; able to batch-cook.
- Reliable, punctual, non-smoker; good communicator; warm, nurturing, patient.
