My husband & I live in Athens and we have 3 children; a 15 year old girl, a 7 year old boy & a 4 year old girl. As we have the two younger children our nanny would have to have good experience with looking after more than one child at at time. Our 15 year old doesn’t need ‘looking after’ but we would like our nanny to form a relationship with her too. We are looking for a young, energetic, caring live in nanny, (to start approximately March-May 2025) to take on the nanny role for our family. I run our business with my husband from my office nearby, so we would be splitting the child care between us. I like to be a hands on mum when I can be, but with our business I need someone to help with the childcare. So this person needs to be flexible enough to work alongside me as well as alone.

Hours are generally 12 hours per day, however as mentioned the kids are usually at school every day from 8:30am-3pm. On days they are home sick or during school holidays there would of course be plenty of time for a break. School days she would start at 7:30am, weekends & holidays usually at 8am.

We love to travel as a family, and do so often, to places all around the world, approximately 6-12 weeks per year, during all of the children’s school holidays. And so we need someone who would be excited to do that with us. They would need either a valid passport or EU work visa, and be happy to travel with us and the children, sometimes for long periods up to 1 month away over the summer. Personal days off/holidays would need to be scheduled outside of the kids school holidays. Obviously daily schedules/hours when travelling would be different so our nanny would need to also be flexible with that. We of course pay extra for any days worked on holidays that should have been days off.

Finally we have 2 lovely friendly (small) dogs, so our nanny would need to be happy to help out with them if needed. Simple things like putting them in and out of the house at times.

Ultimately she must not only have good experience with children of 5-8 years old, but love being with them and be able to be enthusiastic & very creative in her care of them. What I am looking for is someone to help me in the daily upbringing of my children, so somebody I can trust and get along well with personally. She will be entrusted with the care of our children when we aren't there, and to work alongside me when I am there. My husband & I do have to travel abroad for work on a semi regular basis, so she would have to have experience & be comfortable with being sole charge with the children while we are away. (Keeping the monitors at night etc). Our housekeeper couple always stay at the house as well for any time my husband & I are both away, to help with the children.

We are ideally looking for someone who would be happy to stay with us for minimum 2 years so as not to have too much change for the children, assuming we were all happy. Salary on application. Job to start March-May 2025.
