Salary: Circa KWD 1,750 net per month (approx. £4,200), tax-free, depending on experience

Our clients are seeking an experienced, professional Nanny/Governess to join their family in Kuwait on a live-in basis, with a private, separate apartment close to the family home.
The family consists of two Principals and their three children: two boys aged 14 and 11, and a girl aged 7. The main focus of the role is the 7-year-old girl. Both boys are independent, so the Nanny will mainly check in with them rather than provide hands-on care. The family also have a PA.
The successful candidate will be warm, polished and organised, with a high standard of professionalism and presentation. Fluent English is essential. French is a significant advantage, as the family would like the children to learn the language, but it is not essential.

Duties to include, but are not limited to:

• Bring structure and routine while also being creative and caring
• Providing attentive, hands-on care for the 7-year-old daughter as the main focus of the role
• Checking in with and supporting the two older boys, who are largely independent
• Morning routine and school run (school starts at 7:30am)
• School pick-up at 2:30pm and managing the after-school routine
• Supporting the children with homework
• Organising and supporting extracurricular activities and weekly schedules
• Helping with child-related PA/admin, working alongside the family’s PA where required
• Occasional ad hoc support during the school day if the Principals request it
• Occasional flexibility to work later than 7:00pm when the family have guests
• Travelling with the family when required, particularly during the summer holidays

Candidate Requirements:

• Previous experience as a Nanny or Governess in a private household
• Fluent English speaker (essential)
• French an advantage, to help the children learn the language (not essential)
• Experience supporting children with homework and extracurricular activities
• Highly professional, with a polished presentation and discreet approach
• Organised, proactive and flexible
• Enhanced DBS check (or equivalent)
• Excellent references
• First Aid certification advantageous

Accommodation: Private, separate two-bedroom apartment, fully furnished, a one-minute walk from the family home. All bills are paid by the family
Benefits: 30 days’ annual leave and medical insurance
