Ref: FN7050

EED is delighted to be representing a private Russian-speaking family, seeking an experienced and nurturing rota nanny for their 11-month-old son. This is a wonderful opportunity for a warm, calm, and developmentally minded nanny to join a fully staffed household across two beautiful locations—the South of France (Nice and Cap Ferrat) and Latvia (Jūrmala and Riga).

The role is focused entirely on developmentally appropriate infant care: establishing and maintaining a consistent routine, sensory and physical stimulation, emotional support, and age-appropriate play and early learning activities. As the child grows, the role will evolve naturally to incorporate early educational support—language development, structured play, and nursery preparation. Candidates with a background in early childhood education and genuine enthusiasm for this transition will be particularly valued.

The family also has a three-year-old son who has his own dedicated nanny team. The successful candidate will work alongside the wider household team but be responsible solely for the younger child. No cooking, cleaning, or driving is required.

The family divides their time across the year between the South of France and Latvia, and the nanny must be comfortable and well-prepared to travel with them between residences.

Working schedule: 3 weeks on / 3 weeks off rota, live-in during working rotation.
