On behalf of our partner agency we are looking for 2 nannies / nanny housekeepers for a wonderful young family who has recently relocated from USA to Weggis, on Lake Luzern (vierwaldstaettersee). Each nanny can work 4 days per week, so there will be 1 day per week when they overlap. Alternatively the 2 nannies could work 5 days and the other 2 days, or 3 days and the other 4 days. The family wish to ensure that they have full daily cover during week days and weekend days .
This wonderful young family is looking for a warm, pro-active, reliable, loving and energetic nanny to help look after their children. Nanny should have a good amount of experience with children aged 1 years to 5 years. Mum is very warm and friendly. Having good communication with her nannies is important, as she wants a good working relationship/ partnership.
This kind and warm family has 2 sons aged 1 & 3yrs.
The house and location are both very beautiful and special. Between the lake and the mountain. The walks and hikes directly from this beautiful town are incredible. The lake is close by and is incredible for swimming and bathing. Nearby Luzerne is stunning also and Zurich is not far by train or car.
Their amazing house has many bedrooms and the family can offer live in accommodation, on a full time or part time basis. So they are open to nannies locally and to those from further afield. It is essential that nanny has a Swiss or EU passport, or otherwise already has a work permit to work in Switzerland for the next years.
The guest accommodation has itâs own kitchenette and own balcony. It is private. The nannies can also use the gym downstairs.
Languages; English (as mum speaks English) and German or French.
All normal nursery/ nanny duties. Helping with food preparation for the children, childrenâs laundry, empty dishwasher, vacuum if necessary. A housekeeper comes once per week.
The family travels regularly and would like nanny to accompany them to south of France, Germany and other holidays. The nanny will always have a beautiful room to stay in, very nice accommodation.
Dad works long hours, mum is home, but has activities, so the nanny will need to be able to work in both a sole charge and shared care role. The 3 year old will attend nursery/ Kindergarten. The house has a huge playroom which will be particularly useful when they canât go outside as much â during winter.
To be accepted for interview with this lovely family and excellent position you will need to possess a Swiss OR EU passport. Have a proven track record or previous nanny jobs with references. The family prefers nannies who have previously worked in long term roles.
