Role Summary

We are supporting a lovely, well-known family we know and admire. We are seeking a warm, discreet, and highly organised live-in nanny to join them permanently in a shared-care role alongside a very hands-on mother based in Monaco.

Care is for one young child (a bright, empathetic, and active two and a half year old girl). You will provide a calm and reassuring presence, offer thoughtful routines and age-appropriate activities, and work in close partnership with the parents. The role combines shared care and short periods of sole charge, with a strong emphasis on communication, teamwork, and consistency for the little girl.

This position is designed as a long-term commitment.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide attentive, thoughtful daily care, ensuring the child’s safety, well-being, and emotional security.

• Plan and deliver age-appropriate activities (creative projects, early learning, outdoor play, museum visits, nature walks) to support holistic development.

• Maintain consistent routines: meals, naps, playtimes, bedtime, and simple learning moments.

• Organise the child’s wardrobe, toys, books, and equipment, keeping everything clean and orderly.

• Support gentle, respectful discipline and clear boundaries aligned with the parents’ approach.

• Assist with nursery/school runs, classes, appointments, and social activities as the child grows.

• Offer confident sole charge when needed, including during some travel periods.

• Travel with the family during holidays and trips, ensuring seamless care and continuity in new environments.

• Communicate clearly and discreetly with parents and the resident nanny, sharing observations and plans.

• Maintain the highest levels of discretion and respect for the family’s privacy at all times.

Candidate Profile

Essential

• Significant experience as a nanny in private households, ideally with long-term posts.

• Strong early-years knowledge and/or formal training (e.g. early years, Montessori, or similar).

• Calm, kind, and emotionally attuned; able to read and respond to a young child’s cues.

• Organised and proactive, with excellent attention to detail in the child’s environment and routine.

• Flexible, reliable approach; comfortable adapting to travel, changing schedules, and busy periods.

• Confident with both shared care and short periods of sole charge.

• Holds an EU passport and is travel-ready, with the ability to travel internationally.

• First Aid and CPR certification.

Desirable

• Knowledge of child development and play-based learning approaches.

• Confident swimmer, comfortable around pools and the sea.

• Able to prepare simple, healthy meals and snacks for the child.

Who This Role Suits

A polished yet warm professional who enjoys being part of a close-knit household, working hand in hand with parents and a long-term resident nanny. You are steady, adaptable, and travel-ready, with a genuine interest in building a long-term relationship with one family, mainly in Monaco, while accompanying them on trips and holidays. You take pride in creating a calm structure for the child, wherever the family may be.
