Educational Nanny for 1-Year-Old Boy | Saudi Arabia | From £1,800 / week | Full-time live-in, 6 days per week | ASAP start

Ref: FN7024

EED is delighted to be representing a warm and welcoming returning family based in Saudi Arabia, seeking an experienced and professionally qualified Educational Nanny to care for their 1-year-old son on a full-time live-in basis.

The family is looking for a nurturing, development-focused nanny with strong Early Years expertise and a solid understanding of child development. The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the child’s cognitive, language, social-emotional, and physical development through structured routines, play-based learning, and age-appropriate educational experiences.

A background in Early Years Education is essential, and candidates should hold recognised childcare qualifications such as CACHE, NVQ, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Early Childhood Studies, Norland or equivalent. Practical experience applying child-led and developmentally appropriate approaches is highly valued.

The family travels regularly throughout the year, including international trips, extended stays, yachts, and cruise holidays. Flexibility is essential, as there will be periods requiring extended childcare support during travel. During certain travel periods, including yacht and cruise holidays, the nanny may be required to share accommodation with the child in order to provide additional overnight support.

This is a full-time live-in position with a phased accommodation structure. The nanny will initially reside within the family home for the first six months. Following this period, separate private accommodation will be provided nearby. The role remains fully residential throughout both phases.

Working schedule: 6 days per week, up to 12 hours per day, with downtime provided during the day where appropriate. Additional hours will be required during travel periods.
