PLACED | Singapore | Experienced English-Speaking Nanny Required | December 2023 / January 2024 Start Date
A British family with two children, who will be aged 4 years old and 18 months old at the time of relocation, are looking for a very experienced English-speaking nanny. The family will be relocating to Singapore at the end of the year after 10 years spent in London. The family is open to hire a nanny here in London before December, and ready to follow them in Singapore.
The family are looking to recruit an English-speaking nanny, willing to work Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm (60 hours per week). The nanny will be required to do some babysitting and work weekends when needed but this will be very rare.
Both parents are lawyers and work long hours – a certain flexibility from the nanny will be required.
In Singapore, the eldest child will be going to school, while the baby will be at home with the nanny all day long.
The nanny will be dropping off the eldest at school every morning by public transport (she will not be required to drive, and no car will be provided).
It is essential for the nanny to be educated and able to teach the children very sophisticated English etiquette, manners and proper English grammar. She should be a role model to the children and act responsibly and with integrity. Politeness and respect for others are essential to the family and this applies to the children too, even at a young age.
The chemistry with the nanny is very important to the family and the key points are security, not being on her phone all the time and respect from both parties. Ideally, the nanny will have at least 10 to 15 years’ experience and the family would prefer her to be in her 40’s.
The nanny will be responsible for the little girl’s needs and will be planning indoors and outdoors activities to develop their awakening, will be scheduling appointments, organising diner and bath time, and maintain the established routine. She will be responsible for cleaning the children’s bedrooms, looking after their laundry, preparing their meals, shopping for their needs etc.
The nanny must be non-smoker and vaccinated for travel purposes.
The family may require the nanny to travel with them (to the UK, South Asia etc).
The family are opened to hire a live-in nanny, but their preference is to recruit a nanny already based in Singapore or to provide the nanny with her own accommodation . All expenses related to the accommodation will be the family’s responsibility.
A return flight a year will be paid to the nanny and the family will subscribe to a medical insurance for her.
A work visa will also be provided, even though the process can take up to 6 months. The family will be dealing with all immigration matters. It is important that the candidate is degree educated as this is mandatory to obtain a work visa.
The nanny will be employed under a Singaporean contract, and the family will be sorting out the tax process for her.
The nanny will be entitled paid bank holidays according to the Singaporean laws and 20 days paid holidays.
The family will employ a housekeeper and the nanny will not be required to do any housekeeping.
