You'll need to be trained in self-defence if you want a shot at this £100K-a-year nanny job

Many of us would give our eye teeth to bag a job with a £100,000 ($128,926) salary. But, this highly specific job ad for a live-in nanny would probably send Mary Poppins running for the hills.

According to the job description -- listed on Childcare.co.uk -- the parents of four children are looking for a "highly qualified" nanny with a degree in child psychology, "no children of their own" along with a minimum of 15 years of nannying experience. But, requirements for this job are so specific, it's hard to know whether this ad is for real.

"The candidate must be willing to work six days a week, 7am to 8pm," reads the ad.

"I feel it is best to be upfront – the role is demanding. Our children are home-schooled and require constant attention and supervision, even when they are with their teachers," the ad continues. The parents also want the nanny to "participate in lessons where appropriate" as well as helping "further their studies" outside the classroom.

It doesn't end there, though. The nanny would be expected to eat with the children at every meal, which "will be cooked for them by a Michelin star chef." Apparently, though, this isn't mandatory.

Provided they have a clean UK driving license, the successful candidate will be able to drive some pretty swanky cars. "We have multiple cars including a Porsche, Range Rover and Maserati which are available for the candidate to use – we expect the nanny to run errands and take the children to various daily appointments," the ad says.

Thankfully, it looks like there will be some down time, too. "My husband and I are often absent due to work and social commitments, but when we are home we like to have time alone with our children. Therefore, there will be periods where we ask our nanny to take leave to allow us to have quality time as a family," the ad continues.

Apparently, the family's pretty chill about what the nanny gets up to in their free time. But, "binge drinking" and "drug taking" won't be tolerated, and "will result in instant dismissal."

Oh, and there's one pretty major requirement. The right candidate will need to be "trained in self-defence." "This is non-negotiable," the ad stipulates.

The salary for this highly demanding job is £100K per annum, but the successful candidate will have to sign an NDA. The family has "four homes in London, Barbados, Cape Town, and Atlanta" and the applicant "may be required to travel internationally up to three times a week."

This job ad is so extra, it's hard to believe that it's not a prank. Mashable reached out to the ad's poster and the website to seek clarification. Childcare.co.uk's founder Richard Conway told the HuffPost that this job ad isn't exactly a common occurrence on the site. "It’s obviously for a very wealthy family, who want more of an addition to their family than an employee, which for some is great," said Conway. Still, £100K isn't to be sniffed at!
