Professional American couple with a lovely 3.5 year old son in London, UK require a live-in. Our current childcare arrangements are ending – we have had a Greek part-time student/au pair for the last three years who has been wonderful and has become an integral part of our family. Now that she is finishing school, she will be embarking on a new adventure. The au pair/nanny will be responsible for all tasks related to the child. The nanny will assist the parents in childcare and serve as a loving, nurturing and trustworthy companion to child. She will take the child to school, play dates, and if possible, continue to teach him Greek. Traveling with the family in Europe, the US, and Asia will be expected. The mother works part of her time from the house, and because of her schedule often requires childcare at night or to take the child and the au pair on work trips to the US. The father travels a lot for work, and is away approximately for half the month.
