Term: Long-term

Start date: ASAP

Salary: 2,200 EUR+ PCM

Details of the assignment:

                 A busy family of four residing in Kinrooi, Belgium, is actively seeking an English and/or Dutch-speaking maternity nanny to start ASAP. The family had a baby girl in July and will need help caring for the kids B4, G1.5.  The maternity nanny will work five days a week, covering full-time hours. The living arrangement is live-in.

               Both Mum and Dad manage their own business and often work long hours. Therefore, they are looking for an experienced maternity nanny to assist in caring for the children and handling all childcare-related tasks such as getting the kids ready for school, ensuring they eat breakfast, preparing meals and snacks, organising their bedrooms and wardrobes, changing bedsheets, tidying up play areas, and doing laundry. The older children are aged 4 and 1.5 years. The 4-year-old attends school from 9:00 to 15:00, and the 1.5-year-old attends from 9:00 to 16:00. Mum will return to work in January when the baby is six months old. The maternity nanny will have a month to work alongside Mum to get to know the children and learn their routines.

              Occasionally, Mum and Dad travel for work on weekends, and the nanny will be expected to look after the kids during these times, with additional pay provided. The maternity nanny will also be expected to cook for the family, so the nanny must be comfortable with meal preparation. The ideal nanny for this role is someone with a proven track record of working with children of similar ages, especially babies. The family seeks a nanny who is gentle, patient, and loving. The family emphasises allowing the kids to have independence while providing healthy boundaries. Therefore, they would like a nanny with the same principles and practices.

              The ideal maternity nanny for this role is active, fun, creative, and energetic, able to provide a safe and playful environment. The maternity nanny is expected to be a role model for the kids, sharing good values and instilling good manners and behaviours. The family seeks someone intelligent and open-minded who believes in the importance of good communication, especially regarding the children. The best candidate for this role is decisive, quick-thinking, confident, resourceful, and a problem-solver. If you are a committed maternity nanny seeking a long-term role with a friendly family, this might be the opportunity you are looking for.
