A UHNW family based in Chelsea is seeking a dedicated and experienced Nanny to provide care for their two prep-school-aged children. This role offers the flexibility of live-in or live-out, with separate accommodation provided if required. The ideal candidate will be warm, energetic, and nurturing while also being structured, adaptable, and confident in setting boundaries when needed.
