Florence, Italy | Experienced Nanny Sought | ASAP/Flexible Start Date
A friendly return client family of ours is searching for an experienced nanny to assist with the care of their 4 children aged 7, 5, 3 and 2 weeks old. The family are based in Florence, Italy.
The family currently live very centrally but expect to be moving to their newly renovated home very soon which will be a short drive from their children's school therefore a driver is essential for the position.
The three eldest children attend the nearby French school, as such a French speaker would be beneficial to help with homework completion. Currently the school is an 8-minute walk from their more central home.
Start Date: They are searching for a nanny to join them ASAP but can of course be flexible for the right candidate.
Working Hours: The family would like their nanny to work 10–12-hour days, 5 days a week. Ideally the work pattern would be Tuesday - Saturday 3 weekends a month or will include being flexible to have one of the working days be a weekend day for 3 weeks of the month.
Shared Charge: The family do have a full time housekeeper and expect to welcome a Swedish speaking au pair in September of this year, mum and dad are both very involved with the children's daily routines too so this is a position for a nanny who enjoys working as part of the team.
Duties: The nanny's duties focus on the care and education of the children. The nanny will be an experienced candidate who knows how to interact with children and is able to build a bond and respect with them. The chosen candidate will be able to make food for the children when needed, although the housekeeper is often able to cook the family meals. The nanny will play with the children, follow their well set out daily routines and most importantly work as a team with the parents to ensure all 4 children are well attended too and interacted with. The nanny should have previous baby experience so that she is able to care for baby for short stretches whilst the children are at school. The ideal candidate will assist the children with their homework completion and read to them regularly along with planning fun activities for them on the weekend day worked and whilst travelling.
Nursery Duties: The nanny will also manage the children's wardrobes, pack their suitcases for holidays, rotate their toys, keep their rooms tidy and manage their things.
Proxy parenting: There are times in which the nanny will be asked to work overnight and proxy parent when the parents need to travel, the nanny will be paid additionally for these nights.
Travel: The family do travel frequently and would like their nanny to accompany them on some of the holidays in particular in the summer holidays when they travel to their holiday home in the South of France and in the 2 week school holidays the children have every 6 weeks or so.
Accommodation: When the family's new home is complete there is a separate area within the family home that the nanny may use with a separate entrance, double bedroom and bathroom and living area. For the time being separate accommodation will be arranged for the nanny nearby to the family's more centralised home.
Salary: Equivalent of €18/€19 net per hour, approximately around €4,600 net per month+ for a 60 hour work week. Dependent of course on the nanny's previous experience and qualifications.
Please note that only candidates who hold an EU passport or already have the right to work in Italy will be considered.
