PLACED | Madrid, Spain | English-Speaking Live-Out Nanny | February Start Date
A family well known to the Agency, is currently looking for an English-speaking, experienced, professional nanny to join their family and help them to look after their daughter, born in September 2023. She is currently 14 weeks old and will be 18 weeks old by the time the family expects the position to begin.
Their older daughter (nearly 5) attends an English-speaking Montessori school Monday to Friday 9-15:30 including some after school activities. On Fridays, school finishes at 13:30 but again, she has some activities afterwards. Her drop-off and pick-up will not be the responsibility of the nanny.
The nanny is expected to look after the baby full-time. On some occasions, she would look after their older daughter. However, the mother mentioned that she is pretty certain her daughter will want her friendship and will at times lure the nanny into a game.
The most spoken language at home is English, but they are a multi-cultural international family (American/Finnish/Armenian). All languages are spoken, and of course, living here in Spain, Spanish is also spoken.
Depending on where the nanny is from, the family would expect either English or Spanish to be spoken to the baby.
This is a busy working family, and the dad works full-time outside the home, but has lots of flexibility and may be around during the nanny’s working hours at times.
The mom also works, and her work is even more flexible so she sometimes work from home, sometimes from the office. She is hands on and will sometimes want to spend time with the baby during the nanny's hours.
A Spanish speaking (only) housekeeper that comes 5 days a week is employed.
The nanny would work from 8am to 5pm – with some flexibility for the right candidate.
The nanny will be responsible for all usual nursery duties (i.e.: looking after the children, help them to develop, organise activities according to their ages, shopping for their needs, tidying up after them, cooking for them etc.).
It is essential that the nanny has experience in infant/baby development.
The nanny will be asked to travel with the family and during travels she will be expected to stay in an hotel room with the baby. Unless the family stays in a multi-bedroom home, then she will be able to stay in her own room. The family usually goes skiing one week in February ,14-days long trips around Spain in August, and perhaps will go for some long weekends somewhere as the baby gets older.
The family is not sure yet if the nanny will be working 24h/24 when travelling. This is to be confirmed and will be paid extra.
The family offers 4 weeks paid holiday to be taken in the month of July, or depending on the family can arrange that one of those weeks (or 2) is in December/January.
Please note that only candidates holding an EU passport or already have the right to work in Spain will be considered.
