Long-term Nanny Roles in Switzerland
We are seeking two experienced and highly educated nannies to join a warm and generous international family who are relocating from London to Zug. The family has four bright and curious children between the ages of 3 and 10, all of whom are thriving academically and full of energy and personality.
The ideal candidates will bring not only warmth, professionalism, and experience but also a genuine passion for education. For the older children, we are looking for a nanny who can support and encourage them with their schoolwork — someone who is confident helping with reading, writing, maths, and general academic enrichment. A background in education, tutoring, or supporting gifted children would be a real advantage here.
The nanny for the younger children should also be educationally minded, with a creative and thoughtful approach to early years development. Someone who can plan engaging, play-based activities that also build confidence and early learning would be a great fit.
German is an essential part of this family's life, as they are settling in the local area. Ideally, at least one nanny should be a native German speaker, and the second nanny should have some good working knowledge of the language. Both nannies will need to drive — a car is provided for use during working hours — and both must hold either an EU passport or a valid Swiss work permit with several years left to run.
The family has arranged private accommodation for the nannies nearby — a small, comfortable flat with separate bedrooms. They will also have the support of a full-time housekeeper and a weekend nanny-housekeeper, so there are no cleaning or laundry duties involved. You may be asked to prepare simple meals for the children until a cook or housekeeper is in place.

This is a lovely opportunity for educated, thoughtful nannies who enjoy encouraging young minds and supporting families in a meaningful, long-term way.
