Qualified full-time nanny required for a family in Stockholm. Separate accommodation provided. 

We are now looking for a nanny for a happy, sociable and family-orientated client. The family have three children between the ages of 3 and 17 and need an extra pair of hands in the house to help manage their day to day life. Both parents are busy professionals but try to be around as much as possible. The position will sometimes be sole-charge and sometimes shared-care. 

The nanny will, most of the time, be responsible for school and nursery pick-ups. They are looking for a fun, warm, caring and engaging nanny who can offer the children fun screen-free activities in the afternoons. Someone sporty who is happy to be outdoors would be ideal for this position. A nanny who can set boundaries, when needed, in a calm and gentle way would suit this family best. The nanny will primarily care for the youngest and be a good role model for the older ones. Someone with good manners who can lead by example is therefore highly desirable. Occasional help with homework could be needed as well as accompanying them to activities on rare occasions but the older two are very independent and will look after themselves most of the time. 

The nanny should be full of ideas, hands-on and sociable. This position is a full-time position consisting of a fixed schedule Monday-Friday 14.00-19.00, but flexibility is required to work full days and evenings if the children are sick/off school or the parents have engagements in the evenings. These things can arise last minute and the fixed, full-time salary reflects the flexibility required for this position. The family might on occasion need help during the weekend but this will if so be arranged in advance.

The nanny will, on occasion, be required to travel with the family as well as provide overnight care if both parents are away. At most, this will occur 2-4 times per year. 

The nanny needs to be a confident everyday cook who is happy to introduce and prepare healthy meals. The family will provide a meal plan most of the time but they are happy to consider new suggestions. The nanny will be cooking for the whole family. 

Apart from tidying up after the children and their daily activities no other household work is required for this position. 

The successful applicant must have a driver’s licence. 

The family lives in Stocksund, Stockholm and can provide accommodation for the nanny in the form of a separate flat a short walk from the family’s home. 

The salary on top of accommodation provided is between 25.000 and 38.000 SEK per month gross, depending on the nanny’s qualifications and experience. A minimum of three years’ experience in childcare is required as well as experience working in private households. A qualified nanny with a degree in childcare is desirable, however the most important thing for the family is finding the right person.
