Amazing opportunity to join a VIP European family for their extensive international travel!

The family is based in the Middle East and have staff there, you will be called upon for their international travel primarily, and always bearing in mind you will be doing 182 days a year max. It’s not a traditional rota role because the family’s travel is periodic and while they are well staffed in the Middle East, when they travel, they need additional support and this is where you come in. The family have a schedule of their travel already, so you will have a good idea of when you are required but it is important that should their travel needs change by a few days either side or an unexpected trip is booked, you are on call/available. The exception will be when you take approved annual leave which will be discussed with the family.

You will work alongside another nanny to care for 3 children aged 2, 4 and 5 years old so being able to work as part of a team, fuss free and professionally, is paramount. This is a screen-free household, with a strong focus on outdoor play, hands-on activities, and creating enriching experiences for the children.
Both parents are very respectful and understand the integral role the nanny plays in their family life so youwill be very ell taken care of. They genuinely value you and you will build an amazing working relationship with the parents. We are looking for someone who has extensive experience working in a similar set up, with this age group. Nannies that are expecting other staff to clean a milk bottle need not apply. While there is a chef and housekeeping staff, you are still expected to do the children’s laundry (alongside the other nanny) when needed and keep the children’s belongings tidy and organised.

If you are a professional, reliable, low-maintenance, and drama-free nanny looking for a long-term role, get in touch!

NB It is important that you are available for 2.5 months during the summer period to travel with the family (you will still get rest days) and for the rest of the year you will work in shorter blocks of 1-2 weeks to fill the 183 days a year.

Start: ASAP
Salary: circa £80k-£100k net per year with middle east contract
Plus medical insurance while travelling
