Overview

A loving family based in Dallas, Texas, with a home in London, is looking for a full-time+ Nanny to round off their existing team and support the family as a whole.  They travel far and wide with their children and are looking for a Full-Time Nanny to partner with the current Nanny Manager in caring for their children (ages 3 & 8-years-old) and home, errands, and meal prep wherever that may be at that moment.

This incredible family is looking for a candidate that is comfortable in their own skin and demonstrates being comfortable in the home, in front of the Principals, their friends, and their children.  The ideal candidate will be capable and comfortable with international travel and has the ability to be dynamic with their schedule to allow for the Principal’s work or social obligations and pre-scheduled travels; this responsibility is shared with the Nanny Manager.
