The nanny will be responsible for the care of the children - playing with them, preparing meals, changing nappies, bath time, putting the children to sleep and general tidying up after games and meals. They are looking for someone who can play with them in the house but also take them on outings out-and-about. The nanny should be proactive in finding activities or places to visit with the children in Paris for outings during the day. It’s a necessity to be confident taking young children on public transport and getting around Paris.
The family will be staying in a chateau with other families. The parents will be working (US work hours) so it will be sole charge during this time. It will also be sole charge if the parents are out during the day or in the evenings.
The scheduled hours will vary each day but will be 8 hours per day. The nanny will have one day off per week.
