Super kind and welcoming European family is looking for an experienced, passionate nanny-educator to join them in looking after and bringing up 2 well behaved, easy going, bright children. Both parents have very full time jobs.
The family has previously lived in the UK and are keen to make sure the children do not lose their English language skills.
Their last nanny was with them for more than 4 years and both sides have been very happy, but the role has recently changed towards a more education support focus. The family is looking for a nanny-educator with experience in educating as well as nannying - OR who is degree educated themselves and understands the value of a good education and enjoys supporting the children in their learning as well as being a nurturing nanny to them.
There is travel involved in this position, and time will be spent in Italy, Spain and France.
The role is live in or live out. The family offers own room and bathroom and will soon be able to offer a separate studio apartment/ annexe.
There are times when you will need to proxy parent over a weekend (both parents travel quite often), but on the flip side, you will also get more weeks off work (paid) when the family goes on holiday.
