Job Description

We are based here in the beautiful city of Lisbon. We are looking for someone who can be with us for a minimum of one year, but ideally who is open to grow with our family for many years and establish long term residence in Europe.

We are looking for EXPERIENCED live-in nanny who will also be primarily responsible for light cleaning and cooking responsibilities for three kids (4 year old twins-boy and girl) and 2 year old girl) and myself (single father). Most important for this job is your experience with young kids in interacting, caring, and teaching good habits and values. It is very important in your job application to clearly share your experiences in helping raise young kids, in teaching them good values, habits & hygiene, and in teaching them to be healthy, happy, independent thinking, and considerate children. A bonus and differentiating factor is your passion and experience with cooking healthy, nutritious, and delicious food for the kids (and myself). A big plus would be if you have experience with Montessori style pre-school level education to be able to support and accompany the kids pre-school development together with me. Keeping our apartment (especially the children’s areas) tidy and organized will be your responsibility.

Please share your professional experiences, any pre-school teaching experience, and most important, your nanny/childcare experience & your passion/experience with cooking and keeping a small residence organized.

We are a dynamic, easy-going, well educated, fun-loving, and multi-lingual (English & Portuguese) household. I am a single (separated) father (Canadian/American) with three children (ages 4, 4, and 2). 4 year old twins live full time in the house and my 2 year old daughter is here half time (she is at her Brazilian mother’s residence the other half time (either alternating daily or weekly) All three kids are in school from 8:00am to 6:30pm. You will have an extra 1.5 hours in the morning from 8:00am-9:30am to organize the house and about an hour in the evening to prepare dinner or organize the house and about 30 minutes in the night after the kids go to sleep to tidy things up for the night.

Generally you will start work at 7:00am. Help kids get ready for school and have breakfast, and walk them over to school a few minutes walk arriving at school between 8:00am-8:30am. You will have 1-1.5 hours after dropping kids at school to tidy up house until 9:30am. We have a really friendly 2-year old Border collie who requires a 15 minute walk in the morning and a 15 minute walk in the evening. Usually do this right after dropping kids at school and right before picking kids up or after the kids go to sleep.

You will start your evening shift at 5:30pm until 10:00pm. You will have from 5:30pm to 7:00pm to organize house and/or prepare dinner. Occasionally, if the kids have an afterschool activity, you might pick them up at 5:30pm to take them to activity and return home around 7:00pm. Kids eat dinner at 7:00pm and are washed up, showered and in night clothes by 8:00pm leaving about an hour of free play time and/or story time. They are usually in their bedrooms in relaxing activities and story time by 8:30pm to 8:45pm and lights are usually off by 9:00pm-9:15pm and they are usually fast asleep by 9:30pm. You will learn and adapt and create the best overall routine within these working hours to adapt, care, and grow with children.

There are two possible work schedules.

SCHEDULE 1
Monday to Friday - 7am-9:30am & 5:30pm-10:00pm
Saturday: 8:00am-10:00pm (with one hour afternoon break)
You would be responsible to sleep at house Monday to Saturday and responsible for any night emergencies during these days. Generally, my 4 year old twins sleep comfortably through the night once they go to sleep. My two year old girl is here half of days per month and is more likely to have occasional night emergencies that are normal for a 2 year old who sleeps throughout the night, but occasionally needs some quick attention in middle of night.
