A warm and dynamic family in Oslo is looking for a dedicated live-in nanny to join them and care for their two young children: a 3-month-old baby and a lively 2-year-old toddler. This is a permanent role offering stability, a competitive salary, and an exciting opportunity to be part of a loving household.
Dad is a doctor working shifts, while mum works full-time and is currently on maternity leave. As a nanny, your day will start with helping the children get ready, particularly the toddler, who attends kindergarten daily. For now, your mornings will primarily involve caring for the baby, ensuring their daily routine runs smoothly, with engaging activities and lots of care. Depending on the dad’s schedule, your working day might change, though you will know your days and hours in advance.
In the afternoons, once the toddler returns home, your role will shift to preparing dinner for the children and supporting their evening routine, including bath and bedtime. The family appreciates someone who can assist with light housekeeping duties related to the children, such as laundry, tidying their spaces, and managing occasional grocery shopping.
Flexibility is key, as the family values a nanny who can occasionally assist on weekends when dad’s shifts overlap, and mum could use an extra hand with the children. These additional hours will be planned well in advance. The family loves to travel and would like their nanny to join them on trips, including a holiday in mid-February (15th–22nd).
The ideal candidate is fluent in English, energetic, and playful, with a natural ability to engage children in stimulating and age-appropriate activities. Knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework is a bonus but not essential. Most importantly, they are looking for someone adaptable, who enjoys working closely with hands-on parents and can seamlessly integrate into their family life.
Accommodation will initially be within the family home. However, by June 2025, you’ll have your own private, self-contained apartment within their refurbished home, complete with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and private entrance—a spacious 50 sqm setup perfect for independence.
If you are an experienced, flexible, and compassionate nanny seeking a long-term role in a collaborative and warm family environment, this could be the perfect fit for you.
