Job Overview
Starting in January 2026, a fantastic four day opportunity has become available for an experienced and caring nanny to join a professional and friendly family in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.
You will be caring for one baby boy, aged nine months. He currently attends two nursery sessions each week.

The family also has regular visits from two older children – a girl aged 16 and a boy aged 11. There will be minimal care required for them, perhaps the occasional school pick‑up or preparing a simple meal.
The family is healthy and active, and they are looking for a nanny who will become a valued part of their happy home.
