About our family and what we're looking for -
Our family of three is seeking a Nanny who will bring a loving approach to caring for our little one when I return to work four days a week. We are a professional couple and our daughter will be 1 year at the end of September and she is a delight - a bright-eyed, curious and active little girl. We have no pets.
We live in East London right on the edge of Victoria Park - a fabulous resource with lots of playgrounds. In addition, there are many wonderful amenities for children nearby including three children's centres within 15 minutes walk, a library that does daily story time, the Olympic pool which does classes for babies/young children and much more. There are also two local areas for shopping and stopping in cafes, which are very child-friendly.
Our daughter's main scheduled activities are swimming and music classes, with sensory, playgroups and story time sessions also available to fit into the week. Our nanny should be an active play partner, finding suitable creative games and helping our daughter to learn, develop and grow healthily and happily.
