Nanny
Live Out Nanny Who Loves To Travel
A proactive, fun, professional nanny is needed to care for twin toddlers who are 22 months old. The boys have a great sense of humour, are active, and are keen to explore.
The toddlers attend daycare four days a week from 9 - 3.30 pm (it's possible the daycare schedule might change and they spend more days at home with the nanny).
It's vital that you are happy to travel as much as needed. Travel will often be from Thursday to Sunday, although some flexibility will be needed.
