On behalf of our partner agency in Switzerland we are looking for a warm hearted, fun and energetic nanny who is very interested in children's development, who loves being outdoors and who has a passion for international travel.
They are looking for a nanny / nanny-housekeeper who is native level fluent in Spanish.
This is a sporty, active, outdoorsy family and to fit well with them, their nanny also needs to be active and outdoorsy.
The nanny who helps them at the moment only works 2 days per week and as mum takes on more work, she now needs a lot more childcare support.
The family employs cleaners who come 2 times each week, but they would like the nanny to support with basic household tasks. It is just mum and child at home most of the time and nanny, so a small household. The cleaners can also clean the nanny's room if she wishes.
This is a fantastic job, and we are very excited to put forward good, suitable nannies.
Responsibilities: - Provide care, supervision, and engage children with age-appropriate activities. - Handle daily childcare duties such as day care runs, preparing meals and snacks. - Manage household tasks like laundry or grocery shopping. Ability and willingness to travel 3-4 months per year since we have various holiday homes around the globe.
We own a standalone house in Wollerau, which is a 20min car drive or 30min train ride from Zurich city center. It has a small garden and is located hillside with beautiful views of lake Zurich from all levels.
Will your new employee be required to travel with you?
:
Yes. We travel in total 3-4 months per year.
When the employee is not on vacation we expect them to travel with us on weekend trips in and around Europe, as well as, trips to our vacation homes in Austria, Spain and Thailand. Trips to the vacation homes can easily last 4-6 weeks.
Does the candidate need to drive?
