A wonderful opportunity has arisen for an experienced and nurturing Nanny to join a welcoming private family based in the countryside near Hanover, Germany, from October. The family are seeking a caring and professional individual to take responsibility for their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter and become a trusted, long-term part of their household.
