A lovely, busy family is looking for an organised, proactive, and experienced live-in Nanny/Cook to join them on a full-time basis. This is a shared care role, as Mum will be on maternity leave.

• Escorting children to and from school, nursery, and clubs
• Supporting and coordinating with the Housekeeper
• Spending long weekends and holidays at the family's country home in Hertfordshire, which is set on a farm with animals
• Assisting with occasional weekend work (more frequent in winter)

• Happy to travel with the family during holidays abroad (eg, skiing trips, Mallorca, and more)
• Pet-friendly and happy around animals (the family has a dog)
• Highly organised, proactive, and able to take initiative
• Calm, capable, and able to "read the room" – knowing when to step in and when to step back
• Confident supporting multiple children at different stages
• Positive, flexible, and happy to adapt to a busy family lifestyle
• Previous travel experience with families is a plus
