Live-in Nanny / Housekeeper – Private Estate

Family Description & Location:

A warm, welcoming British family are seeking an experienced and child-focused Nanny / Housekeeper to join them at their substantial private estate on the Isle of Man.
This is a well-structured, long-term position within a supportive and fully staffed environment. The family’s home is their full-time residence and offers a secure, stable and professional setting.
There are five children aged between 6 and 17, although some of the older children do not live in the house full time. Mum is hands-on and actively involved in their daily lives. The role is centred around supporting school-age children — their routines, activities and organisation — rather than sole-charge early years care.
You will be working alongside an experienced full-time Housekeeper within a collaborative team structure. Responsibilities are shared and clearly defined.
The Isle of Man offers an excellent quality of life, beautiful surroundings, and strong transport links to the UK mainland.

• Proven experience as a Nanny or Nanny / Housekeeper within a private household
• Confident caring for school-age children
• Full clean driving licence essential
• Calm, structured and positive approach
• Organised and proactive
• Comfortable working as part of a team

Days of Work, Accommodation & Salary:

• Five-day working week, averaging 40–50 hours

• Salary circa £40,000 gross per annum, negotiable depending on experience

• The Isle of Man has a generally lower income tax rate than the UK mainland, which can be beneficial in terms of take-home pay
• Start date flexible
