Details of the assignment:

                    A busy international family based in Barcelona is urgently seeking a warm and experienced English and Spanish-speaking maternity nanny to care for their 3-month-old baby. The family is flexible with the living arrangement, offering both live-in and live-out options, with working hours from Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. There may be occasional babysitting required during evenings or weekends, but this will always be arranged in advance with the parents.  Should the candidate decides to live-out, it is essential that they live in Barcelona or nearby and able to commute daily. 

                   Both parents are professionals who run their own businesses and travel frequently for work, so they seek a responsible, reliable, and trustworthy maternity nanny to take sole charge of their baby. While the family has two other children aged 12 and 3, the focus of this role will be on the care of the baby, as their 3-year-old has a separate nanny. The maternity nanny will be responsible for all infant care duties, including preparing the baby for the day, organising clothes and the baby’s wardrobe, tidying the bedroom and play area, and handling evening bath time. Additionally, the ideal candidate will have experience in weaning and preparing nutritious baby foods, such as purées.

                  The family is looking for someone with proven expertise in infant care who understands the importance of creating a nurturing and engaging environment for their baby to thrive. The maternity nanny will be expected to support the baby's early development by organising age-appropriate, educational activities and games, and ensuring the baby reaches key developmental milestones. Experience in sleep training is desirable, as the family wants someone who can help establish a consistent daily routine. Given their busy schedules, the parents also highly value a maternity nanny who can maintain detailed records of the baby’s feeding, sleeping, and behavioural patterns, providing them with regular updates on his progress.

                  The ideal candidate for this position will have an excellent understanding of early childhood development. They should be creative, fun, and capable of coming up with stimulating ideas to entertain and engage the baby. The family occasionally travels and would highly value a nanny who is flexible and able to accompany them on trips. While not required, additional qualifications in childcare would be a significant advantage. The suitable candidate for this role is someone experienced in similar family dynamics, can work without supervision, and can think on their feet and take the initiative when necessary. 

                   If you are a maternity nanny who is deeply passionate about infant care and looking for a role where you can make a meaningful impact in a child’s life, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
