German and English Speaking Nanny
vor 3 Wochen
We are a British/German family currently based in Hannover, Germany, seeking a nanny to support our four children aged 0-7. Both parents have demanding careers in the software industry. The children are currently 7 years, 5 years, and 2 months old, born in May 2017, May 2019, and May 2024 (twins) respectively. The two eldest children are boys, and the twins are a boy and a girl. Everyone in the family is bilingual in German and English, and the two older children attend the International School Hannover Region, where teaching and communication from the school is primarily in English. At home, both English and German are spoken.
Family Details- The entire family is bilingual (German and English).
- The family has operated on a "one parent, one language" basis since their children were born, whereby the mother speaks to the children in English, and the father in German. When the family are all together, a mixture of languages is spoken.
- The couple, and then family, were previously based in London for around two decades, with a two-year interval in California.
- The family relocated to Hannover, Germany in 2021 for the father's job, so the twins were born there.
- The family live in a house with garden and easy parking in a quiet area in central Hannover.
- The family also own a spacious, fully furnished 1-bedroom apartment c. 7 mins walk from their house, which shall be for the sole use of the nanny unless they decide to live out.
- A car can be provided for the nanny's sole use if the nanny has the appropriate driving license. Otherwise, school pick-ups and other transportation of the children would need to be done by public transport and/or by bike, which is possible, but sometimes more challenging, especially with the babies.
- Minimum 5 years experience working as a nanny supporting parents in demanding careers. The size and range of ages in the family mean this is not a suitable role for someone with no prior nannying experience.
- Native-level German speaker.
- EU citizenship, or ability to obtain a Germany work visa.
- Fluent English speaker.
- Fully up to date DBS check or local equivalent.
- Organised, structured, and good at establishing a routine with children.
- Focus on supporting kindness, respect, and good manners in children.
- Academic ability sufficient for supporting older children with reading and homework up to around age 14, i.e. 5 GCSEs at grade C or higher, or equivalent qualification.
- Enough familiarity with basic technology such as Whatsapp, Google Calendar, school apps etc. such that these can be easily used in collaboration with the parents to manage the family's activities.
- Experience working with children ranging in age from 0-10.
- Experience working with bi-lingual children, especially with supporting reading and spelling in German and English.
- Experience working with energetic boys who need a lot of exercise.
- Driving license valid for use in Germany.
- Experience living/working outside Germany and preferably in the UK or US. The family is very internationally-minded, so someone with a similar outlook, who will understand cultural references from outside Germany may be better suited.
- Salary competitive with rates in major European cities, contingent on experience. Note that cost of living is lower in Hanover, so a salary at that level should ensure a higher quality of life than e.g. in London, Paris or Berlin.
- Full medical and other insurances, pension provision, and all other benefits required for full-time employees in Germany.
- 25 days paid holiday per year - half of which can be taken at any time, half at times agreed with the family.
- Flexible on start date: Could be as early as end of 2024, up until mid 2025. The family is willing to wait for the right candidate as needed, or have someone start earlier so they have a smooth settling-in period before mother returns to work in mid 2025.
- It is possible that the family may relocate to another country or city at some point in or after 2026, and if this is the case, the preference would be for the nanny to accompany us wherever we next land, although of course this will be up to the nanny to decide as and when that happens.
- Full nursery duties for the ~1 yr old twins (born May 2024) daily Mon-Fri, 8:30-6pm.
- School pick-up and after-school care for 2x older children (born May 2017 and May 2019) Mon-Fri 3-6pm.
- Some care for older children during school holidays (when they are not in e.g. summer camps or on family holidays) and when they are home sick from school.
- Help with ensuring older children complete homework after they return from school, although this will remain relatively light until the eldest child is around 11 (in 4 years time).
- Prepare healthy meals for the twins (lunch and dinner) and older children (dinner only in school time, lunch too in holidays). Plan for meals by adding food requirements to family's weekly grocery order.
- Unpack/repack and manage older children's school bags when they return from school each day.
- Support and uphold family rules around screen time - none for the babies, max 1hr of TV for each of the older children. No video games, phones, or other screen time, unless mandated for school.
- Supervise shower/bath time for the older children.
- Take older children to after-school clubs and activities as needed.
- Wash, fold, and organise children's clothes; work with parents to replace/acquire/mend/store clothes as required.
- Ensure children keep their toys tidy and organised; proactively suggest when toys should be retired/sold/donated.
- Note: Family has a weekly cleaner, so no cleaning responsibilities required beyond basic tidying/cleaning if the children make a significant mess.
- Weekly debrief with both parents to flag any issues and ensure constant, smooth communication.
Requirements
- Completely fluent German.
- Up to date criminal history check.
- Good references for recent and relevant nanny work and jobs that have each lasted a good length of time.
- Able to run after young children.
- Be available long term.
- Excellent British English.
- Up to date paediatric first aid.
- Must be tidy and clean and happy to keep home environment tidy and clean.
- Please note this is a strictly Non-smoking position.
