Details of the assignment

          An international family who has recently relocated to Bologna is seeking a nurturing and experienced nanny to join their household and assist in looking after their two children. The nanny will work Monday to Friday, covering full-time hours from 9:00 to 17:00. As the role is live-out, the family is looking for a nanny who already resides in Bologna or nearby and can commute daily. They will not consider applications from candidates outside the area.

         Dad works full-time and travels occasionally for work, while Mum is a stay-at-home mum. They are looking for a nanny who can provide valuable support as they both lead busy lives, and it is also crucial for the nanny to be comfortable working alongside a parent, understanding when to step in to offer help and when to step out to give the family space to bond. The nanny will be responsible for all childcare-related duties, such as getting the children ready for the day, preparing their meals and snacks, ensuring their bedrooms and wardrobes are clean and organised, and tidying their play area and laundry.

         The family loves spending time outdoors and enjoys activities such as hiking and climbing. Therefore, they are looking for a young, energetic, and fun nanny who leads a similarly active lifestyle. The children are full of energy and enjoy outdoor play as well as indoor games and arts and crafts. The ideal candidate for this role is energetic and creative, can match the children’s energy levels, and can plan age-appropriate games. Although not mandatory, the family highly values candidates with childcare qualifications. They are seeking a nanny who can support and guide the children in reaching their developmental milestones. They would like a nanny who can create a safe and positive environment for the children to learn, create memories, and have fun.

        Mum and Dad are easy-going and relaxed. They would like to find a nanny who practices a gentle approach and is also keen on alternative education, such as the Montessori Method. They love giving the children space to grow and learn independently while also being prepared to provide support when needed. The ideal nanny can implement and maintain a consistent daily routine while being flexible when required. The family is looking for a nanny who has strong values and can share these with the children.

The family is learning Italian, although they are not yet fluent. They are looking for an English- and Italian-speaking nanny to help the children acquire language skills. The ideal candidate for this role is kind, loving, and vocational. They seek a responsible, capable nanny who is resourceful, proactive, and patient. The perfect candidate for this role is someone passionate about childcare and looking for a long-term commitment with a wonderful family.
