For a warm and loving family in Amsterdam (IJburg), we are looking for an experienced, calm and committed Nanny who would like to commit to the family for the long term. The family consists of a father, a mother and two young children: a curious toddler boy of 2 and a calm baby girl who is a few months old.
The parents describe themselves as open, flexible and involved. Calm, routine and loving attention form an important foundation within the family, without everything having to follow a strict schedule. They enjoy quality time together, healthy food, trips to the market and an active family life. The family places great value on connection, respectful communication and an open minded approach to parenting.
About the children
The eldest is a sociable, bright and energetic boy who loves playing outside, reading and discovering new things. He enjoys activities such as dance classes, football and visiting museums. He is curious, quick to make connections and needs explanation, structure and challenge. He is also currently looking for a little extra attention as he adjusts to life with a baby sister.
His younger sister is a content and calm baby in her first months. Experience with newborns is therefore an important advantage for this role.
The role
The focus of this role is entirely on caring for and guiding the children. The family is looking for someone who brings calm, is sensitive and takes the time to truly connect with the children. A Nanny who not only cares for them, but also thinks along, encourages them and becomes part of the family as a partner in raising the children.
Alongside caring for the children, the parents would appreciate the Nanny keeping the house neat and organised during the day. It would also be lovely if simple, healthy meals could be prepared for the family.
