If you have been au pairing for a substantial amount of time – say 15 years – this could be the job for you.
A “friendly family of six” with children aged 2, 5, 7 and 15 are looking for a full-time, live-in nanny who will be doing a tonne of international travel because the family are located in London, Barbados, Cape Town and Atlanta.
Serious.
The successful candidate will earn “£100,000 (R1,7 million), be fed Michelin Star meals every day and be allowed to drive the family’s sports cars,” explains Indy100.
Here’s how the family puts it:
We’d prefer our nanny to eat with the children at every meal, which will be cooked for them by a Michelin star chef, however this isn’t mandatory. We have multiple cars including a Porsche, Range Rover and Maserati which are available for the candidate to use – we expect the nanny to run errands and take the children to various daily appointments. A clean UK driving license is a must.
Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Well, there’s a catch – or two.
First off, travel could be “up to three times a week, depending where the children are”. Talk about that #AirportLife.
And then, to qualify for the job:
The nanny must have a degree in child psychology, no children of their own and a minimum of 15 years of nannying experience.
But, of course, the ad goes on:
I feel it is best to be upfront – the role is demanding. Our children are home-schooled and require constant attention and supervision, even when they are with their teachers.
We’d like our nanny to participate in lessons where appropriate, to help further their studies outside of the classroom.
My husband and I are often absent due to work and social commitments, but when we are home we like to have time alone with our children.
Therefore, there will be periods where we ask our nanny to take leave to allow us to have quality time as a family.
And if that isn’t enough…
Ideally our nanny will be trained in self-defence, however if the right candidate doesn’t already have this training we will provide and pay for it. This is non-negotiable.
Casual.
If this is the role you have been waiting for, read the full advert here and apply if you feel like you qualify.
Also, if you happen to get an interview or even get the job, we expect a small finder’s fee for our efforts.
