Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications

2 girls ages 2 years 7 months and 9 months

A warm family based in Amsterdam are seeking a professional, experienced live-out nanny to care for their two young daughters aged 2 years 7 months and 9 months.  They would like to find a fluent Russian and English speaking nanny who has an EU passport. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a calm, kind and emotionally intelligent nanny who takes a thoughtful, developmentally focused approach to childcare. The family are very hands-on and value a collaborative working relationship, so the role would suit someone who is confident yet naturally gentle, and who thrives working alongside involved parents.

Discretion, adaptability, and the ability to “read the room” are key in this household. The family are looking for a nanny who can integrate seamlessly into their home during working hours, bringing a positive, organised and proactive presence, while also respecting boundaries and maintaining a calm, professional environment.

The position includes travel during certain periods of the year, mainly to London, so flexibility and a genuine enjoyment of travel are essential.

This is a kind, respectful and thoughtful family who are looking for a long-term Russian speaking nanny to become a valued and trusted part of their children’s lives. They offer a supportive and collaborative working environment and are seeking someone who shares their values: warmth, calmness, discretion, and a genuine love of working with young children.
