A warm, organised and hygiene-conscious family based in Camden Town (NW1) is looking for an experienced nanny who speaks Tagalog or Mandarin to join their household.

Main responsibilities

• Care of the 13-month-old throughout the day:
  • Age-appropriate activities (sensory play, songs, books, walks)
  • Go to playground near home and keep the baby safe outside. Discuss and gain permission from the parents regarding outdoor activities in advance.
  • Meal preparation and feeding (breakfast, lunch, snacks)
  • Work around and maintain the nap-time routine and hygiene (follow set time interval between naps, nappy changes, basic care)
  • Monitoring development and sharing updates with parents proactively (feeding, activities, well being, safety etc) with the parents
• Occasional school pick-up for the 9-year-old:
  • After-school care, snack preparation
  • Homework support
  • Quiet play or creative activities
• Full-time care during school holidays:
  • Organising activities and outings for both children
  • Creating a fun and structured daily routine
• Light family-related housekeeping:
  • Laundry for the whole family (washing, folding, putting away, ironing)
  • Tidying and cleaning areas used with the children (kitchen/Dinning room, play areas)
  • Tidying and cleaning away dirty dishes after cooking, children eating. 
  • Keep the kitchen working surface clean and in good order. Take out the clean dishes from the dish washer. 
  • Ensuring a clean and safe environment for the children

Hygiene expectations – followed by the entire family

The family follows a strict hygiene protocol, respected by all members of the household (parents and children), and they expect the nanny to follow the same approach with consistency and care:

• Upon entering the home, everyone changes into indoor clothes. The nanny will be required to leave a clean outfit at the family’s home to be worn only while working indoors.
• The nanny needs to change outfit when taking the children outdoor, and change back to the indoor outfit on return.
• Handwashing is mandatory between every action, no matter how small. For example:
  • If the nanny is feeding the child and needs to touch the bin or the mobile phone or open the door to receive delivery, she must wash her hands again before touching the child or food afterwards.
  • This level of hygiene applies throughout the day (mealtimes, nappy changes, pick up the baby from her cot bed, playtime, etc.)

The routine is applied without exception, ensuring the children are cared for in a consistently clean and safe environment.

Mobile phone usage expectations:

• The nanny doesn’t use the phone for personal social purposes (chatting, texting, browsing internet, etc) when working with the children (at home and outdoor) to ensure the focus on the safety of the children. 
• Nanny’s phone can turn on the sound in case of needing to answer to urgent calls or answering to parents’ call. 
• Nanny doesn’t show screen time to the baby (i,e, no mobile phone or TV)
