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:

* Planning fun, engaging and age‑appropriate activities
* Supporting daily routines including meals, bath time and bedtime preparation
* Preparing healthy meals for the children

* 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:

* 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
