A warm and highly engaged Educational Nanny is sought to support the development of a bright and advanced 20-month-old girl.

The successful candidate will combine excellent early years knowledge with a genuine passion for child development, creating a stimulating, language-rich environment that nurtures curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
