It added the nanny would be responsible for dressing and washing the children as well as reading to them and taking them through a bedtime routine.

They will also be in charge of ‘generally ensuring children are entertained’, with possible activities including outdoor walks, games, crafts and day trips with the family’s driver.

Cooking and cleaning will not fall within the new nanny’s remit.

They will also need at least five years of experience and will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
