On behalf of our Swiss partner
A kind Swiss family living in Herisau (AR), near St. Gallen and Lake Constance, is seeking a full-time live-in Nanny/Housekeeper. Their modern villa (built 2018) has a large garden, outdoor pool, and is close to public transport—no driving required.
Mr C is a lawyer and politician, Ms G works in insurance. They speak German, English, and Italian (Mr C also French and Spanish). Their children, a girl aged 11 and a boy aged 9, attend school and speak good English.
The role is 40 hours a week (5–6 days), mainly childcare with some housekeeping. They seek someone warm, reliable, well-mannered, and organised—who enjoys engaging with children and can work independently while respecting the family’s privacy. Occasional travel abroad may be required.
They welcome all nationalities, ideally with good English.
Private accommodation includes an en-suite room, separate entrance, and small kitchen.
Our Swiss Partner agency has placed several au pairs and a nanny with this family since 2017, all of whom had excellent experiences and remain in touch. The family also offers German lessons and helps Nannies find future opportunities in Switzerland.
