A warm and down-to-earth family in Kensington is seeking two professional and experienced Rota Nannies to provide consistent care across a two-week rotation.

The nannies will be responsible for three of the family’s five children: an 11-month-old baby and two children aged five and seven, who both attend school full-time.

This is a rewarding opportunity for nurturing, creative and energetic nannies who genuinely enjoy spending time with children and would like to develop a long-term relationship with a family.

The role

The parents are hands-on, particularly at weekends, and the household is also supported by a Governess from Monday to Thursday and a Housekeeper on Fridays.

The successful nannies must be equally comfortable taking sole charge and working collaboratively alongside the parents and other household staff. Strong communication and an organised, team-focused approach will be essential to maintaining continuity between rotations.

Key responsibilities

  • Providing attentive, age-appropriate care for the baby and school-age children.

  • Managing the children’s daily routines, personal care and developmental needs.

  • Supporting the baby through important developmental milestones.

  • Completing school runs and assisting with homework where required.

  • Planning creative, educational and stimulating activities.

  • Organising outings, playdates and age-appropriate experiences.

  • Preparing fresh and nutritious meals for the children.

  • Batch cooking and planning children’s meals for the week when appropriate.

  • Maintaining the children’s bedrooms, play areas, clothing and belongings.

  • Communicating clearly with the parents, household staff and the other rota nanny.

  • Maintaining detailed handover notes to ensure consistency between rotations.

  • Travelling with the family when required.

Candidate requirements

  • Significant professional nanny experience with both babies and school-age children.

  • Previous rota experience is strongly preferred.

  • Confident working in sole charge and as part of a wider household team.

  • Warm, nurturing, engaging and genuinely passionate about childcare.

  • Creative and enthusiastic, with plenty of ideas for play and learning.

  • Highly organised, proactive and an excellent communicator.

  • A confident cook with a good understanding of children’s nutrition.

  • A clean UK driving licence—essential for school runs.

  • Comfortable travelling with the family.

  • Fluent English; French, Spanish or Russian would be an advantage.

  • Right to work in the UK.

  • Up-to-date paediatric first-aid qualification.

  • Enhanced DBS check or willingness to obtain one.

  • Excellent, verifiable professional references.

What the family offers

  • A two-weeks-on, two-weeks-off rotation.

  • A private bedroom and bathroom while on duty.

  • A salary of £65,000–£80,000 gross per annum, depending on experience.

  • Opportunities for family travel.

  • A supportive household with hands-on parents and additional staff.

  • The opportunity to build a lasting relationship with a welcoming family.

This position would suit experienced rota nannies who are nurturing, energetic and organised, and who value consistency, teamwork and creating a happy environment for children.

To apply, please submit your current CV, a recent photograph and details of your availability.
