Vacant job

Ref. 4287D

A family with three children moving to Sweden is looking for a reliable, engaged, and proactive nanny.

The position starts on May 1st, and the family is seeking a long-term nanny who can stay for several years.

About the Family and Children

The family has three children who will be at the start of the position:

• A baby aged 6 months
• A child aged approx. 1.5 years (calm, curious, enjoys reading, bathing, and playing in playgrounds). May start preschool in August.
• A child aged 5.5 years (active, loves being outdoors, playing in the park, looking for insects, playing with the family dog and cars). The oldest child starts school in August.

During the summer (June–August), it is summer holiday, routines are more flexible, and all children will be at home.

The mother is a stay-at-home parent and works closely with the nanny in daily life. She often plans the days but also wishes for the nanny to bring her own initiatives, suggestions for activities, and to take the children on outings. Sometimes the mother needs to leave the house, in which case the nanny is responsible for all the children (usually just the two youngest), but most often the nanny is only responsible for one child.

The family has had nannies before, and the children are used to it.

Responsibilities

• Care for one or more children depending on the day and needs
• Actively participate in the children's play and development
• Take the children to activities and playgrounds (everything is within walking distance)
• Simple cooking for the children (lunch)
• Tidying up after play and meals
• Pick-up/drop-off at preschool/school if necessary (the mother is primarily responsible for this)

The family will have a cleaner who handles most of the household chores; the nanny's focus will be on the children.

Working Hours

• Basic schedule: Monday–Friday approx. 07:00–15:00 (Possibly adjustable to 07:30-15:30, but the mother prefers a 07:00 start)
• Occasional evening shifts, Friday or Saturday
• Travel with the family occasionally, mainly during holidays. Not a requirement but an advantage if possible.

Languages

• English is a requirement as the children primarily speak English today.
• Swedish is a big plus but not a requirement (the mother speaks Swedish with the children).

Profile

• Independent and unpretentious
• Confident with small children and infants
• Preferably experienced in working in a family where a parent is at home
• Social, proactive, and child-loving
• Must love to play!

Other

• The family has a dog arriving in August (an 8-year-old beagle). A big plus if the nanny can walk the dog together with the stroller.
• Opportunity to travel abroad with the family. This is a plus but not a requirement. Mainly during school holidays.
• The family travels approx. 3–4 times per year
• It is important to have a long-term nanny for continuity and security
• The father usually works from another location.

Interviews are conducted continuously during the application period.
