Vacant job

Ref. 4294D

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

The position starts as soon as we find the right candidate. There is an opportunity to swap workdays with our weekly nannies occasionally, allowing you to have one weekend off per month and instead work 3 days during the week, 8 hours per day, either 07:00-15:00 or 12:00-20:00.

About the family and children:

The family has three children who will be:

• A 6-month-old baby
• A child of approximately 1.5 years old (calm, curious, enjoys reading, bathing, and playing in playgrounds). Attends preschool.
• A 5.5-year-old child (active, loves being outdoors, playing in the park, looking for insects, playing with the family dog and cars). Starts preschool in August.

During the summer (June–August), it is summer vacation, routines are more flexible, and all children will be 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 preferably take the children on outings. On rare occasions, the mother may need to leave the house, and then the nanny is responsible for all the children (usually only the two youngest), but most often the nanny is only responsible for one or two children.

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
• Participate actively 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)
• Clean up after play and meals

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

Working Hours

• Base schedule: Saturday and Sunday 07:00-19:00.
• Occasional shifts on other days if the nanny is available.
• Travel with the family occasionally, primarily during holidays. Not a requirement but an advantage if possible.
• Opportunity to work extra hours on weekdays from time to time.

Languages

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

Profile

• Independent and non-pretentious
• Comfortable with small children and infants
• Experienced with bottle feeding, changing diapers, and bathing babies
• Preferably experienced 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 that will likely arrive during the summer (an 8-year-old beagle). A big plus if the nanny can take the dog for walks together with the stroller occasionally.
• Opportunity to travel abroad with the family. This is a plus but not a requirement. Primarily during school holidays.
• The family travels approximately 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.
