Job Description
Career.zycto is excited to announce an exceptional opportunity for a compassionate, experienced, and dedicated Live-in Nanny to join a warm and vibrant family residing in the desirable Wuse 2 area of Abuja. This is a unique chance to become an integral part of a household, providing comprehensive care and support for their two children, aged 4 and 7 years old. The family is looking for a long-term commitment from a nanny who can foster a loving, safe, and stimulating environment for their children.
As a Live-in Nanny, you will be responsible for all aspects of the children’s daily routine, from morning wake-ups to bedtime stories. This includes preparing nutritious meals and snacks, assisting with school drop-offs and pick-ups (if applicable, with transport provided or allowance), organizing engaging educational activities, and supervising playtime both indoors and outdoors. We are searching for someone who is not only excellent with children but also proactive, organized, and capable of maintaining a tidy and child-friendly living space. You will play a crucial role in their development, encouraging their curiosity, creativity, and social skills.
This position offers the incredible benefit of private, comfortable accommodation within the family’s home, ensuring a seamless integration into their daily life while providing you with your own personal space for rest and relaxation. You will have your own private room and access to shared family amenities. The family values open communication and aims to create a respectful and supportive working relationship. If you are passionate about childcare, thrive in a structured yet nurturing environment, and are looking for a stable and rewarding role where you can truly make a difference, we encourage you to apply. This role goes beyond just childcare; it’s about becoming a trusted caregiver and a cherished part of a family’s life.
