A welcoming international family who has recently relocated from the USA to Madrid are seeking an educated, professional and engaging nanny/governess to support the care and early education of four -year-old son. This is a wonderful long-term opportunity for a nurturing yet structured candidate who is passionate about child development and enjoys creating enriching learning experiences.
The role is primarily focused on the family’s young son, with occasional care or activities involving his older sisters as needed. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of developmental stages and educational milestones for children aged three and above and will confidently support his preparation for pre-school through fun, imaginative and age-appropriate activities, both at home and out and about in the city.
The family environment is multicultural and language rich. English is spoken at home, with exposure to Spanish and Russian. As such, the successful candidate must be a fluent English speaker, both spoken and written. While the family are English-speaking, a Spanish speaker would be a benefit (though not essential), particularly as the family has recently relocated to Spain. The parents value curiosity, creativity and kindness and are keen for their son to be introduced to the arts. A candidate who plays a musical instrument would be particularly appealing, as the mother plays the piano and would love to encourage a love of music from an early age.
The little boy is active and enjoys karting and swimming, and skiing is also an activity the children enjoy. Someone happy to accompany him to activities, support his interests as they develop, and encourage an active lifestyle is essential. The family also has a friendly labradoodle, so the nanny must be comfortable around dogs.
This is a live-in position, though the family would consider live-out accommodation for the right candidate if live-in were a deal breaker. Flexibility and a willingness to travel with the family are important, as is a warm, positive and adaptable attitude. While a driver is not essential, it would be considered an advantage. Candidates must hold a valid EU passport.
