PLACED | Florence, Italy | Trilingual French/English/Italian-Speaking Rota Nanny | February 2024
A British family who has lived in the US and who had just relocated to Florence, Italy, are looking for a French/English/Italian-speaking rota-nanny to look after their 4,5-year-old little boy.
The family is very relaxed and are looking for a nanny who will understand their space and their way of life. Both parents are very committed to their nanny’s happiness.
The parents describe their son as a very affectionate little boy, very calm and an amazing sleeper. He is a lovely boy who loves to play and is a real pleasure to be around. He likes to swim, spending time outside the house, loves puddles, tractors and storytelling. He has a great imagination and already has strong vocabulary skills.
The little boy is attending the French lycée of Florence. He was in a French school in Los Angeles as well. He is not bilingual yet, but learning French is a priority for the family. He is learning Italian and is picking up quickly.
Even though the parents have some knowledge of French, English is spoken at home. Therefore, the nanny will have to be confident speaking English to the parents but only French to the little one .It is equally important to have a good knowledge of Italian in order to communicate with the staff.
The right candidate will be professional, experienced, caring, highly organised, meticulous, a great team player, and a wonderful nanny.
The family are looking for someone with a nice and positive energy, a great reader of stories, very mature and focussed on their son’s education. Someone playful, who understand his needs, giving a traditional and kind education with boundaries.
The family lives 30 minutes away from Florence and therefore the nanny needs to be a confident and experienced driver.
