Overview
Our new client is looking for an experienced and organised Norland Nanny to take care of their two children, a girl aged 4, and a boy aged 3, in Miami. The role is offered through a J-1 visa program. Norland qualified Nannies with a US Passport/Green card are also able to apply.
The children are both independent, happy and easy going. The little boy is very sporty and the little girl loves art and creative activities as well as singing, dancing and swimming. They are in very good routines. When the family move to New York, both children will be at school full time. They will go to different schools and so the nanny will be needed to help with school drop off. As long as all nanny duties are complete there may be the opportunity for some time off during the day for the nanny to go to the gym etc. during term time if they would like to.
The family are looking for an enthusiastic, happy, kind and energetic nanny who is organised and flexible. Manners are important to the family, as well as encouraging respectful and kind behaviour. The family currently employ a Norland Nanny who has been with them for 2 years and is now coming to the end of her visa.
Interviews are due to take place in the UK between 20 – 26 January 2025. On successful placement, if required, a J1 visa will be arranged by the host family.
