Overview
We are seeking an exceptional, highly experienced Live-In Nanny Housekeeper to join a family living in a substantial luxury property on the prestigious St George's Hill estate in Weybridge.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced household professional who enjoys working with children and takes pride in maintaining the high standards expected within a luxury private residence.
The family has two boys, aged 7 and 11, and is looking for someone warm, calm, organised and trustworthy who can take responsibility for the children's daily routines while also overseeing the day-to-day organisation and presentation of the home.
Childcare will be the priority, with housekeeping, professional wardrobe care and household coordination undertaken while the children are at school.
