Nanny
Shape a young child's early years in a structured, long-term role with a warm, social family.
Job Summary
This is a long-term, live-in nanny role providing a mix of sole-charge and shared-charge care for a two-and-a-half-year-old girl in a private family home in the countryside near Hannover. It is a warm, welcoming household with the child's grandmother based at home and a cleaner and cook already in place, so your focus stays firmly on the child's care and development rather than housework.
You will take full responsibility for the little girl's day-to-day care, shaping a happy, engaging and well-structured routine and supporting her development at an important stage. The family are looking for someone dependable, organised and nurturing who will become a trusted, long-term part of the family.
The role is approximately 40-45 hours per week, with occasional flexibility over hours and some travel with the family from time to time. Weekend work is very rare. A separate two-bedroom apartment on the property is provided.

? A warm, patient and nurturing manner, with the adaptability to occasionally flex hours.
