Job Reference: LCSNOV01
We are recruiting a temporary and flexible nanny to work with a lovely family in Edinburgh’s West End, EH12 5.
They have one baby who was born in August 2026.
Hourly rate: £20 per hour gross during weekdays and £25 per hour weekends and evenings.
Start date: ASAP until June 2027 with a break in March 2027 for a family holiday.
Days and Hours: The family are very flexible and open to conversation with candidates: ideally at least one afternoon plus 2 mornings each week for no less than 4 hours each time including Saturdays and Sundays. For example this might be a Wednesday afternoon plus both weekend mornings, with the option for more weekday hours if the nanny needs this.
They would also like their nanny to babysit one evening each week (or bi-weekly) from 5pm to 10pm.
As first-time parents, they welcome an experienced nanny who can guide, advise and support them on their baby’s care, routine and development, whilst respecting their parenting preferences. Someone who is fun, warm, creative and caring and who has a strong understanding of early childhood development. They must be able to use and take the initiative and suggest age-appropriate activities. Experience in looking after young babies are a must have as is peadiatric first aid or a willingness to do this straight away.
Their wee one will be taught 3 languages (English, Polish and Flemish) so candidates who are bi-lingual is a bonus, but not a necessity.
Dad works full time and sometimes travelling abroad. Mum will be present most of the time but will likely plan time for herself when the nanny is working.
They have a lovely spacious flat and mutual ‘area’ to make things comfortable for the Nanny. As a family, they like to go for walks in the city; travel; cook but also staying inside during the cosy winter times.
A non-smoker and non-vaper is required.
A driver is not required but there is free parking at the family home.
