CP990: Rota Nanny for UHNW Family in Zurich, Switzerland

Rota Nanny

Overview

A lovely UHNW family based in Zurich, Switzerland, are seeking an experienced and nurturing Rota Nanny to care for their curious and active two-year-old daughter.

Working a 7 days on / off schedule, alongside a second Nanny, this is an exciting and varied position for a dedicated childcare professional with a background in Montessori or Early Years education and a genuine passion for supporting early development through play-based, child-led learning.

The role is well supported – the family employ two Nanny/Housekeepers, ensuring the successful candidate can focus entirely on delivering exceptional, consistent care. A private apartment separate from the main residence is provided whilst on duty.

There are two Rota Nanny positions available, and this would work well for two nannies who have worked successfully together before.
