A warm and welcoming family based in Bayswater is seeking an experienced, proactive and engaging Cantonese-speaking nanny to join them in a long-term role caring for their two young children, a boy aged 4 and a girl aged 1.5 years.

The family has a very strong preference for a native or fluent Cantonese speaker, as maintaining and deepening the children's Cantonese fluency is a key priority within the household. The ideal candidate will be energetic, organised, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about early childhood development and language enrichment.

This is primarily a childcare-focused position, with cooking responsibilities for the children and light housekeeping related to them.

Duties will include:

• Full weekday childcare support
• Nursery and school pick-ups (within walking distance)
• Planning fun, engaging and age-appropriate activities
• Supporting daily routines including meals, bath time and bedtime preparation
• Preparing healthy meals for the children
• Supporting potty training for the younger child
• Taking the children to local classes and activities, such as music and football
• Encouraging Cantonese language development through:
• Speaking Cantonese with the children throughout the day
• Reading, storytelling, songs and poetry
• Counting and writing practice
• Arts, crafts and creative play
• Cooking and active games
• Children's laundry
• Tidying and organising bedrooms and play areas
• Kitchen clean-up following children's meals

The family would also appreciate flexibility for occasional paid evening babysitting and occasional travel, including potentially accompanying them during an August holiday.

The ideal candidate will:

• Be a native or fluent Cantonese speaker
• Have significant nanny or early years experience
• Be confident caring for toddlers and preschool-aged children
• Be warm, energetic, proactive and highly organised
• Have a genuine interest in education and child development
• Enjoy working collaboratively with parents

Accommodation:

• The family's preference is for a live-in nanny, although they are open to live-out candidates for the right person.
• For live-in candidates, accommodation can be offered on either a full-time basis or Monday-Friday only, and includes:
• Private bedroom
• En-suite shower room/toilet
• Separate entrance on the lower ground floor

This is a lovely opportunity for a professional nanny seeking a long-term role with a kind and welcoming family in central London.
