About the Family:

Our clients, who are a bilingual household, are seeking a kind, proactive, and experienced Nanny who speaks Italian or Dutch at a native level. Language exposure is important, and they are requiring someone who can naturally incorporate this into daily routines and activities with their children.

Role Overview:

The Nanny will be responsible for the care of their newborn baby and school-aged daughter, as well as preparing family meals, and supporting the smooth running of the household. The role includes engaging the children in their target language through play and conversation, managing school and nursery pickups, and batch cooking simple, nutritious meals for the family a few times a week.

• School and nursery pickups (both are nearby)
• Engage in educational and fun activities, support with homework
• Cook nutritious meals for the family
• Light household tasks (eg, unpacking groceries, child-related laundry, tidying up after meals and play)

Example Weekly Schedule:

While the principals are flexible with days and hours overall, they do require more fixed availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and two early starts per week.

• Monday: 11.00am–6.00pm (cooking, light household tasks, pickups)
• Tuesday: 7.00am–6.00pm (school drop-off, baby care, pickups, activities)
• Wednesday: 8.00am–6.00pm (school routine, baby care, pickups)
• Thursday: 7.00am–6.00pm (school drop-off, family cooking, baby care, pickups)
• Friday: Optional (flexible hours available for morning drop-offs or afternoon help)

Additional Notes:

• No regular evening or weekend hours required
• Mum will be on maternity leave from 23 June to 1 January; during this period, additional hours may be available (especially November–March)
• Principals are open to increasing or adjusting hours to suit the right candidate

Requirements:

• Native-level Italian or Dutch speaker
• Experienced with both babies and school-aged children
• Confident home cook who enjoys meal planning and preparing healthy family dishes
• Reliable, warm, and organised
• DBS check and references required
