Super lovely, kind and warm European family primarily based in London is looking for a very flexible travel nanny to join their growing family. Holding an EU or Swiss passport is essential and Start date is as soon as possible, and stay for many years! They have a main nanny, but are looking for a 2nd nanny to help cover the main nanny's time off and to accompany them on their many trips abroad (mostly European countries, including Greece, Switzerland, Belgium, but also some further away such as Dubai).
The children are aged 2 and 3 and a new baby is joining them soon. The family will have a maternity nurse and the mom will be off work for approx 6 months of maternity leave, but on occasion the nanny might have 3 children to care for and needs to be comfortable with 3 children, even if it does not happen often.
We placed the main nanny who has been with the family for more than a year.
Nanny must be happy with sole and shared care.
The family travels and also spends sometimes a month or 2 in an location.
Nanny must be confident in packing and unpacking and settling the children into new locations. Wherever the family goes, they have family or friends, so the children will also have company of others.
You will be responsible for cooking for the children, feeding them, getting them dressed, coming up with fun activities for them, taking them to classes, arranging play dates with their friends, and keeping the parents updated with their progress.
From September their 3 yr old daughter will be in full time school, and their son in full time nursery, so it gets easier from then.
