Live In Chef

Job Overview: Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present an exceptional opportunity for a professional, experienced, and engaging Full-Time Live-Out Nanny to join a warm and informal private household based in Belsize Park, London. This is a long-term, permanent position ideally suited to a dedicated nanny who is genuinely passionate about child development and thrives in a collaborative, fully staffed household environment.

The household consists of two highly involved parents and their three children: two school-aged children (aged 8 and 5), who will be the primary focus of the role, and a newborn baby (1 month old). The mother is currently on maternity leave and remains very hands-on, particularly with the baby, therefore the role will involve a combination of shared care and occasional sole charge.

During the earlier part of the day, the nanny will support the mother with the newborn, assisting as needed. In the afternoons, responsibilities will shift towards the older children, including school pick-ups, accompanying them to after-school activities, and ensuring a structured and engaging routine. The role requires flexibility, as responsibilities may vary depending on the family’s daily schedule and needs.

The household is fully staffed, including a housekeeper-nanny and a chef, and both parents are actively involved in the children’s upbringing. The father works from home approximately 50% of the time. This is a supportive, team-oriented environment, and the successful candidate must be confident working collaboratively whilst also taking initiative when required.

The family is seeking a proactive, energetic, and warm nanny who is genuinely interested in building a strong bond with the children, encouraging their development, and creating a positive, stimulating environment.
