TRAVELLING NANNY/MANNY FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS ON A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD!

• Salary: £60,000 - £80,000 gross pa. (negotiable for the right candidate)
• Location: Global, Travelling around the world
• Start: ASAP
• Full time, 12-18 months contract
• Private separate accommodation and fantastic employee benefits
  
  

The Chace People team is looking fantastic Nanny/Manny to join our lovely international client, for a once in a lifetime two-year trip around the world with their 5-year-old twin boys!

The family has been on a worldwide adventure since December 2021 aboard a luxury residential cruise ship. They are searching for a dynamic and capable Nanny or Manny to engage their boys academically, emotionally, socially, and recreationally during this 12-18-month journey they have left.

Mom and dad are practical and down to earth people who value transparent communication, positive energy, flexibility, commitment, and initiative, and seek a person who will foster a natural and loving bond with their twins and help them make the very most of this adventure. As a family who values experience over material goods, they desire to instil an appreciation of global culture through extensive travel in their young boys, while also preparing them to enter a traditional land-based elementary school experience at age 6.

As the ideal candidate you will have a genuine delight in preschoolers and their developing minds is an absolute must. Beyond that, the family seeks a natural, creative Nanny/Manny who is flexible and easy-going, yet reliable and prepared; a self-starter, who can plan fun activities independently; a warm and kind disposition, but well-practiced at setting and maintaining firm boundaries; a comfortable, self-reliant traveller with common sense.

The ability to research ports of call ahead of time and create thoughtful, efficient, and organised travel maps and itineraries around the best museums, parks, cultural activities, and events available at each destination is a huge plus! Someone with a creative streak and ideas for documenting this family adventure for and with the boys would be ideal.

This position is both luxurious and demanding. The amenities on this fully residential cruise ship are unparalleled and largely available to the Nanny/Manny and the ports of call and activities are exceptional in opportunity and scope; however, a life of continuous travel far from home can be stressful; a flexible service mindset and ability to be happy far from home is critical.

Position Details

• Hours/Schedule: The schedule is variable and sometimes unpredictable, but 50-60 hours a week is typical, depending on ports and parents’ work and social obligations. Hours include a mix of “full charge”, “shared charge”, and “passive charge” hours, meaning time where the boys are fully the educator/caregiver’s responsibility, time where the Nanny/Manny accompanies a parent in caring for the boys (often on shore excursions), and time when the boys are sleeping and just need passive supervision.
• Bi-weekly meetings to discuss the upcoming 2-week schedule are important. The flexibility to deal with last minute changes is essential as travel conditions change and new opportunities arise at a moment’s notice with this type of round the world travel. More detailed schedule will be provided and discussed with successful candidates.
• Live-in/Live-out: The Nanny/Manny will be provided a private studio apartment while working on the ship. In addition to the family living quarters, there is a well-stocked classroom available on the ship that can be used for messy art projects and other education-based activities. The ship also has a full range of recreational amenities and eating options available.
• Compensation and Benefits: A competitive salary, commensurate with experience, as well as a generous benefits package including health insurance, use of a private studio apartment, generous food allowance, on - board gym membership (including personal training), economy flights and time off each year for trips home/elsewhere, as well as an amazing travel experience in a loving family environment. 

To find out more about this exciting role, apply with your updated CV. Please note that candidates with exceptional, checkable references and relevant experience will only be considered!
