This is a live-in French speaking nanny role. The family are looking for a kind, fun and energetic nanny, who would like a long term, role looking with a family who have 5 children however the focus is mainly on the 3 youngest children; B2, B5 and B7. All the children are in full time school, and the toddler is in half day nursery 5 mornings per week – the nanny will have mainly shared care of the children outside of school and nursery hours and during the school holidays. The family tends to travel most school holidays and the nanny is required to accompany the family including for extensive periods (up to 4 months) in Switzerland.

The suitable candidate will have experience working with toddlers and school age children. The right fit is someone who has French as a first language, someone who is degree educated and has worked as a live in nanny before – someone who has a genuine love for children and who can help them reach their developmental milestones in a fun, engaging way.

The role involves lots of organising and planning related to the children. The nanny should be a self-starter who can take initiative but who is also happy to take direction – the family are super organised and everything related to the children is in the family calendar. It is important for the nanny to continue to maintain routines including mealtime, bathtime and bedtime. The children all have tutors and do different activities and sports – the nanny needs to help to make sure that everything flows smoothly ensuring the children are prepared and ready for their respective activities or lessons, that they are picked up and dropped off as needed. The family employ a driver however; the nanny needs to be a confident driver as this would be needed when they are in Switzerland.
