Job Responsibilities and Expectations

A driver is essential (both manual and automatic), and a car will be provided for all childcare duties. Applicants should also be confident driving abroad.
Other
Please kindly note that the family have two small friendly dachshunds, alongside a number of other animals such as ponies, horses, donkeys and cows. It is therefore essential that the nanny loves animals, nature and the outdoors, as this is a big part of the family’s life and much time is spent enjoying it. There is also an active expectation that the nanny will continue to cultivate and inspire this love and enjoyment of nature and the outdoors under their care.
The family in question are English. They are young, polite, discreet, modern and extremely down-to-earth. Both parents are involved in running the estate farm as well as their respective business interests (mostly from home). They are looking for a highly professional, enthusiastic and kind nanny who is caring, proactive, energetic and creative. It is also extremely important to the family that the nanny is open minded as they want their children brought up by people who share the same liberal values as they do.
