Establish and maintain a calm, predictable routine to promote security and development

Accompany the family on international travel between the Bahamas and London, adapting seamlessly to changing schedules

Provide homeschooling support, if appropriate, during time spent in the Bahamas (anticipated minimum of approximately 90 days per year in the initial phase)

Act as a trusted and steady presence, fostering a secure and supportive environment

Work in close partnership with the parent, contributing insight and judgement to support decisions around the child’s emotional and educational needs

Maintain a high level of professionalism, discretion, and flexibility at all times

Ideally light household management support to assist with overall organisation and smooth running of the home
Creative and healthy cook, able to encourage a healthy relationship with food

Significant experience in a governess, career nanny, or educational role with young children

Strong background in emotionally intelligent care and regulation

Solid understanding of, or experience with, the British curriculum (Early Years / Key Stage 1)

Confident, thoughtful communicator, able to contribute meaningfully to decisions regarding the child’s development and wellbeing

Experience in private households with international travel

Household management experience

Very flexible approach - nothing is set in stone, yet, and there is likely to be very regular travel, some weekend work and extended periods spent away from the UK
