Our warm and welcoming Lyndhurst family is seeking an experienced, gentle and nurturing nanny to care for their little girl on a full time, long-term basis.

Both parents are working professionals who value a gentle, responsive approach to parenting and hope to welcome someone who will become a trusted and valued part of their family. Their happy, curious and increasingly independent toddler loves music, books, exploring and discovering new things.

Both parents work in a hybrid arrangement, spending some days working from home while allowing their nanny the space to establish a lovely bond and routine with their daughter.

This is a childcare-focused role involving nutritious meal preparation, age-appropriate developmental play, reading, music, sensory activities and outdoor strolls, alongside light household duties to maintain a tidy and organised home.

The ideal nanny will be warm, affectionate, patient and proactive, with strong experience caring for babies and toddlers. Someone who prioritises safety, encourages learning through play and shares the family's gentle parenting approach would be a wonderful fit.

Above all, the family is looking for someone reliable, trustworthy and genuinely passionate about early childhood development. This is a lovely opportunity for a dedicated nanny seeking a stable, long-term position with a family who values open communication, mutual respect and genuine care.

• Keeping children's play areas, toys and belongings clean and organised, alongside light household duties.
