We are looking for a dynamic, loving and trust-worthy nanny to help take care of our four children (Marie 9, Pierre-Antoine 7, Augustin 4 and Eleonore 3). This is a live-in position, and the nanny will be expected to run the house and look after the children if both parents need to be away.

The day will start at 7am when the nanny will be expected to help get the children ready for school. Occasionally she will need to drive them to school. The children need to be at school by 8.30 am at the very latest. The nanny’s morning duties should end at 9 am unless she needs to do the shopping for the household in which case they will finish later.
Duties at this time will be:
• tidy and clean the children’s bedrooms and playroom.
• manage the laundry making sure washing has been done of bedlinen and clothes, fold items and put them away in the correct bedroom.
• prepare uniforms for the children for the following day.
• prepare the children’s evening meal which should be healthy and balanced.
• provide a shopping list of things the children need (eg toothpaste, nappies and food items for the meals she plans to make for the children the following week) and/or do the shopping for the house.
• Plan activities with the children which are fun, creative and educational.
Afternoon schedule should begin at 2.30 with the above duties carried out. The children will need to be picked up from school at 3.30, leaving the house at 3pm. The nanny will have help once the children are back from school, but will be expected to coordinate the drop-off and pick up of the children to their various activities, help with homework, bath and bedtime. Unless both parents are away or babysitting is required, the nanny will finish at 7:30 pm.

If both parents are away, the nanny will need to stay downstairs on the same floor as the children. Please note, no television is allowed in the mornings.
Livein Environment
