Job Opportunity
We are seeking a caring and responsible nanny to join a lovely German family living in a quiet and well-connected suburb just outside Zurich. The family has two girls, aged 7 and 5, who attend school until mid-afternoon during the week.
The role involves helping with the morning school routine for an hour or two, then picking up again in the afternoon from around 2.30 or 3pm until dinnertime. Wednesday and Friday afternoons require more hands-on care, and the family would appreciate occasional evening babysitting—usually once a week.
The family sometimes travels to the mountains on weekends and would love their nanny to join them when possible. Weekend work is balanced with time off during the week.
The ideal candidate should be warm, active, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children. She's confident, kind, and has a positive, can-do attitude.
The nanny will be provided with a private studio within the home, with her own entrance, bedroom, and bathroom. Meals are shared with the family or she's welcome to use their kitchen.
This is a lovely opportunity to join a welcoming family and support two happy, well-rounded children. If you're caring, trustworthy, and enjoy being part of a busy household, we'd love to hear from you.
