Job Description
A warm and welcoming family based in Belfast is seeking an experienced and qualified nanny to care for their one year old daughter from May 2026. This is a live out position offering sole charge, although one parent will mostly be working from home. The family value peace, honesty, kindness and a calm environment, and are looking for someone who will naturally complement this ethos.
The role will involve all nursery duties including preparing meals, feeding, bathing, settling for naps and bedtime, planning age appropriate activities, daily walks, play, and maintaining a tidy and organised space for the child. The little girl enjoys structure and routine and loves nursery rhymes, so a nanny who is happy to sing and engage creatively would be very welcome.
The schedule runs Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm, with an overnight stay on Friday until 1pm on Saturday. The position totals approximately 51.5 hours per week, plus a flat overnight rate at £50. The family are offering a total of £18 per hour
The ideal candidate will have a minimum of four years’ experience working with young children, particularly around one year of age. They should be warm, attentive, responsible and trustworthy, with a genuine love for their profession. Strong communication skills and the ability to listen carefully to parental preferences are essential. English is required and Russian would be an advantage but is not essential. Driving is not required for the role itself, though it may be helpful for personal mobility.
