Our ideal nanny is experienced, caring, patient, reliable and knowledgeable in newborn care. As first-time parents, we would appreciate someone proactive who can guide us while respecting our parenting preferences. Responsibilities include overnight care, feeding, settling, establishing routines and supporting the mother's postnatal recovery. Mandarin-speaking candidates are preferred, ideally with experience preparing Chinese confinement meals. Good communication, flexibility and respect for privacy are essential. The nanny must have valid UK immigration status permitting employment throughout the placement.
