This is a lively household where plans can change at short notice, so flexibility, a relaxed attitude and a good sense of humour are essential.

Destinations may include Australia, the United States, Europe, Dubai, the Maldives and Mauritius.
Flexibility regarding travel schedules and occasional changes to arrangements is important.

• Demonstrable experience caring for babies and toddlers, ideally within a similar age range.
• Confident supporting weaning, potty training and early childhood development.
• Happy to undertake light housekeeping duties alongside childcare.
• Warm, affectionate, playful and genuinely passionate about working with children.
• Relaxed, adaptable and comfortable working within a busy, informal family environment.
• Organised, proactive and able to use initiative without constant direction.
• A genuine team player who is happy to work alongside parents and other household staff.
• Comfortable around dogs, as the family have three.
• Willing and able to travel internationally.
• French or Spanish language skills would be advantageous but are not essential.
