Nanny
We are working with a family who have recently relocated from Canada to Cologny, Geneva, to help them hire a Nanny. The family are settling into their new home and are looking for a dynamic, engaging professional to support with the care and education of their three young boys, aged 3, 5 and 8.
The boys are wonderfully active and energetic, so the family are seeking someone with the energy and enthusiasm to keep up with them - a warm, nurturing, ‘Mary Poppins’ figure who brings structure, fun and learning to every day. All three children attend school/pre-school, and supporting their homework and educational development will be a key part of the role.
This is a part-time position of 2 - 3 days per week, with availability required at weekends. Accommodation is provided in a small apartment or studio located close to the family home.

• Help the children settle into their new home, school and community following the family’s relocation
• Communicate openly with the parents, providing regular updates on the children’s progress
• Maintain the highest standards of discretion and confidentiality at all times
