PLACED | Lyon, France | Experienced Bilingual Nanny | November 2023
A family of professionals living in Lyon are currently looking for an experienced nanny to look after their three children aged 13, 10 and 9.
The nanny will be primarily English or French speaking, bilingual French/English. The nanny must only communicate in English with the entire family, including both parents. The children are not bilingual French/English but have basic knowledge. The family wants learning English to become part of their daily lives.
As parents both have very demanding jobs, the flexibility and availability of the nanny will also be essential.
Although the children are at school and independent, they, like all children, need to be accompanied, supported and encouraged by their nanny, both for homework and extra-curricular activities.
The nanny will be responsible for all the children's needs. This includes: setting up various and fun activities, organizing their daily life (making appointments, run errands relating to their needs, etc.), tidying up their clothes as well as their living spaces, preparing their meals as well as those of the family in the evening (simple cooking), taking care of their homework, activities.
One cook takes care of preparing a few dishes at the start of the week.
In the morning, either a parent or the nanny will accompany the children to school. The nanny will return home and take care of tidying up their bedrooms, clothes, books, will then pick up the children from school at 4:30 p.m. generally, and supervise the homework in French and English. Then follow dinner and tidy up and they go to bed at around 9 p.m.
The nanny is free during the day, apart from Wednesdays.
During school periods, the nanny will work an average of 50 hours per week as follows:
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays worked from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Wednesday is worked from 7:00 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Added to this is a 3-hour babysitting during the week, and depending on the family needs an additional 5-hour babysitting during the day or evening on Saturdays. One full free monthly weekend is offered but it’s likely that other weekends will be as well.
During school holiday periods, more flexibility will be requested from the nanny so that she is present during the day when the family is not going on vacation.
5 weeks of paid leave are due to the nanny.
A housekeeper is present at the home every day.
An independent and equipped 30m2 studio is made available to the nanny.
However, it is possible depending on the family's schedule and commitments that this could go beyond 5 weeks.
Driving license required. A car is available when on duty.
If the nanny is British, she must have either an European passport or the right to work in France.
Salary: €4,000 net per month.
