Overview
A wonderful family of five is seeking a temporary, part-time nanny to join them during their stay at their home in Regent's Park, London. They have three energetic boys (ages 6, 10, and 13). The candidate will initially be working alongside the mother, who is hands-on and involved. Then, once the children are relaxed and comfortable, the nanny will at times take on an independent role with the younger two children. The schedule will typically be Monday through Friday, and on average 20-30-hours per week, with the exception of the first week which will be 30-40-hours.

- Encourage the boys to develop independence by teaching them to tidy up after themselves, assist with post-dinner clean-up, and complete age-appropriate tasks.
- Implement a "firm but fair" approach. They value a nanny who can set clear boundaries while remaining kind and loving.
