Holland Park, London | French-Speaking Nanny / Governess | May 2026 / Flexible Start
A French family based in Holland Park is seeking an experienced French-speaking nanny/governess to support the rota nanny in caring for 17-month-old twins.
The position is available as soon as possible, although the family is willing to wait for the right candidate.
This is a live-out role, five days per week (approximately 50 hours), with occasional flexibility required on weekends and during international travel.
The successful candidate must already be based in London, ideally within a 45–50 minute commute of Holland Park, and must have the legal right to work in the UK (British passport or Settled Status).
Proven experience with very young children is essential, particularly in a nursery setting or with a Montessori approach. The role requires the ability to plan and lead engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that support the children’s cognitive, motor, and language development, while maintaining a structured and consistent routine.
The family is looking for a warm, dynamic, and discreet individual with a strong team spirit, capable of working collaboratively with the rota nanny and other household staff.
A stable employment history and excellent references are essential.
Only French-speaking candidates will be considered. A good command of English is highly desirable.
