Junior nanny needed in Lüscherz Bern #41589

On behalf of our Swiss partner, we are pleased to present the following position:

 Junior nanny in Lücherz, Canton Bern

The family, living in the beautiful lakeside village of Lücherz, are looking for a live-in nanny to start in August 2025. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who enjoys nature, outdoor activities and working with children.

The family has three children, a boy aged 10 and twins (boy and girl) aged 7. They are also expecting twin babies in June 2025. The household includes one dog. Both parents work in creative fields: Mr H is a photographer and visual artist, while Mrs S is a ceramist who works part-time from home.

The family home is set directly on the lake, offering a calm and natural setting, yet is conveniently close to Biel/Bienne and Neuchâtel where the children attend school. A new studio with private entrance, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom is being built on the property for the nanny or au pair, offering independence and comfort.

Duties

The role will focus mainly on supporting the older children, particularly during school mornings and afternoons, although the nanny or au pair should also feel comfortable around babies. Duties include:

• Helping the children get ready for school and driving them there
  




• Picking the children up from school in the afternoons and caring for them until early evening
  




• Supporting on Wednesday afternoons with activities for the children
  




• Light household tasks related to the children, such as tidying up their rooms, organising play areas, helping with laundry and keeping the kitchen in order
  




• Occasionally assisting with basic cooking if required
  

The family has a housekeeper who comes twice a week, so cleaning is not expected beyond normal daily support.

Requirements

• Confident driver (mandatory)
  




• Good swimming skills
  




• English or French language skills
  




• Active, outdoorsy and happy to join the children in sports and play
  




• Comfortable with both sole and shared care (mother will be on maternity leave for six months)
  




• Comfortable around dogs
  

Working Hours

• Approx. 25 hours per week
  




• Mainly Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturday hours if required
  




• Morning support before school and afternoon to early evening hours
  

Package

• Live-in accommodation in a private studio with bedroom, kitchen and bathroom
  




• Gross salary around CHF 3000, depending on education, experience and hours agreed
  




• No travel or overnight care required
  

This is a warm and creative family who are looking for someone responsible, flexible and kind, with a genuine love of children and outdoor life.

Requirements

High level of fluency in French or English.
