The Role
A warm and informal family based in Devon, are seeking an experienced, nurturing and genuinely maternal Live-in Nanny for their first child, a baby girl who will be approximately four months old at the start of the role.

The nanny will provide attentive, stimulating and developmentally focused care, supporting the baby through her changing routines and milestones, including weaning, introducing solids, developmental play and, in time, potty training.
