We are looking for a full-time, permanent position nanny for our children (girl 1 yr and boy 5 yrs) in Espoo (Laurinlahti). Work hours will be 8.30 to 17 Mon-Fri, starting in end-July/early August.
Our little girl will be at home full-day whilst our son will attend pre-school until 1 pm.
We are looking for someone who is either a native speaker of English or has near native level skills. Our son speaks English as his third language and that is the main reason to look for an English speaking nanny to support his English. We speak Swedish at home. You do not need to be fluent in Swedish or Finnish but some basic knowledge of either is an advantage but not a must.
You need to also be eligible to work in Finland and as the position is live-out we cannot provide housing. We can offer some help in finding accommodation if required. As we will apply for a Kela-grant the applicant needs to have a clean CRB (rikosrekisteriote) and be qualified to work with children. You need to have a driver's licence and be a confident driver. When needed we will provide a car for those days.
We are looking for someone who truly loves children and is energetic and playful and likes the out-doors. We live in house with a large garden, close to playgrounds, the beach and great out-doors terrain. You will need to be able to do some basic cooking for yourself and the children (lunch and snack) and tidy up after play (however no cleaning or house work is needed).
We have experience in employing nannies and believe this is great position for anyone who enjoys working with active and happy children and help keeping them safe and provide them with a sound routine. We are looking for someone to stay with us for a longer time, up to two years so please do not apply if you are only available for a few months or part-time.
We will also check references and qualifications.
Please e-mail and attach a CV or short work history if you are interested!
