AP024 - Career ROTA Nanny – London/Los Angeles/International

Overview

A welcoming, internationally based family is seeking an experienced, highly professional Career ROTA Nanny to provide exceptional care for their infant daughter, born in March 2026. The family is currently based in Los Angeles, California, with plans to relocate their primary residence to London in summer 2027.

This is a long-term opportunity for a UK-based nanny who is comfortable travelling internationally and would enjoy spending the initial months working with the family in Los Angeles before their anticipated relocation to London.

The family maintains multiple residences and spends approximately three months each summer aboard their private yacht, alongside additional domestic and international travel throughout the year. The successful candidate will work within a fully staffed household, alongside an established team of household managers, private chefs, housekeepers, security personnel and yacht crew.

The family is considering a rotational schedule of approximately three weeks on / three weeks off, with the potential for four-week rotations during extended international travel and Mediterranean yacht trips.

The family is seeking a confident and nurturing career nanny who can take responsibility for their daughter's day-to-day care, supporting her physical, emotional, social and cognitive development while providing a consistent, engaging and age-appropriate routine. The ideal candidate will be warm, adaptable, highly organised and proactive, with the ability to anticipate needs and offer thoughtful, practical solutions. The family leads an active and occasionally spontaneous lifestyle, so someone who can balance structure and consistency with flexibility will be particularly successful.

The family values professionalism, discretion and mutual respect, and is looking for someone who can develop a positive, long-term relationship with both the child and the wider household team while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.

A Norland qualification would be welcomed, although the family is equally interested in experienced career nannies with excellent references, demonstrable longevity and a strong background in infant and early childhood care.
