As soon as the right person is found.

Salary

To be agreed, based on the candidate's experience and availability.

Days and hours

Monday to Friday, from 9:30 am until the children's bedtime (approximately 8:30 pm). Some flexibility is required to babysit on occasional evenings and to work a few hours at weekends from time to time, which would be paid as extra. Availability to travel is also essential, as the parents are artists and take the children with them while on tour.

Duties

• Full care of both children, including their daily routines, meals and playtime.
• Looking after the children's bedrooms and living spaces, keeping them clean and tidy, and taking care of their laundry, ironing and cooking.
• While the family is in London, the eldest attends school during the day.

Requirements

• Fluent in Spanish and with some English; any additional language is a plus.
• The family is looking for someone with solid experience caring for young children, who genuinely enjoys spending time with them and is fully present — playing with them rather than being on the phone.
• The ideal candidate helps develop the children's imagination while also supporting their education and setting clear, consistent boundaries.
• Awareness of child safety is important, along with the ability to react calmly in an emergency and a basic knowledge of first aid.
• Valid work permit for the United Kingdom required.
• Verifiable references essential.
