Turkish-Speaking Travelling Nanny, North London

• Location: North London
• Position: Full-time, Live-out
• Working Hours: Monday to Friday, typically 7:00am to 5:00pm or 6:00pm

Overview

A private Turkish-English family based in North London is seeking an experienced, warm, and highly organised full-time live-out nanny for a busy, long-term role involving regular international travel.

This position will focus primarily on the care of two young children, a preschool-aged child and a toddler, while Mum remains primarily focused on the newborn. The family is looking for a professional nanny with strong early years experience who can confidently manage the children’s routines, support their development, and create a calm, nurturing, and engaging environment.

A strong Turkish speaker is essential, as the family would like the children to be immersed in Turkish at home alongside their English-speaking education.

This is a role for someone who is flexible, energetic, and comfortable working longer days. In addition to the day-to-day care of the children in London, the nanny will travel with the family during school holidays, primarily to the USA and Türkiye. The family is therefore looking for someone who genuinely enjoys travelling and is confident maintaining routines while away.
