Working as a Nanny in Istanbul offers an exciting blend of international family life, fascinating history and the energy of one of the world’s great cities. With its incredible food, vibrant neighbourhoods and famous Turkish hospitality, Istanbul is a city with something to discover around every corner. For a Nanny looking for an overseas position, it offers a wonderful lifestyle alongside the opportunity to become an important part of a family’s life. This is a position for a Nanny looking to make a long-term commitment to a family, becoming a trusted and consistent presence throughout both children’s early years. In this role you initially will be caring for a 1 year old girl and in January 2027 the role will expand to caring for both the toddler and new born. You will therefore need to confidently manage two children’s routines, whilst supporting the older child through the transition of becoming a big sister and ensuring both children receive attentive, nurturing care. The successful candidate will play an important role in their development, providing excellent care whilst ensuring that English is the children’s primary language through everyday conversation, play, reading and activities. The parents are both professionals, both speak English and are looking for someone who is warm, capable and experienced with both infants and toddlers. They would like their Nanny to become a genuine part of their children’s lives and provide continuity as their family grows.
