Job Description
Are you a compassionate, experienced, and dedicated individual passionate about fostering the holistic growth and well-being of children? Career.zycto is delighted to partner with a reputable, warm, and loving family residing in the vibrant Idumota area of Lagos Island, seeking an exceptional Live-in Nanny to join their household. This is a truly unique opportunity for a committed childcare professional to provide comprehensive care and invaluable support in a nurturing home environment, benefiting significantly from comfortable, private accommodation provided within the family residence.
This pivotal live-in role transcends typical childcare, involving you as an integral part of the family’s support system. You will be entrusted with ensuring the children’s daily needs are met with utmost care, creativity, and enthusiasm, contributing significantly to their developmental milestones.

The family deeply values a nanny who can seamlessly integrate into their established routine while proactively bringing fresh ideas, a creative spirit, and a proactive approach to all aspects of childcare.
Beyond the daily routines, the ideal candidate will be someone who genuinely enjoys engaging with children on their level, planning and executing age-appropriate developmental activities, supervising homework diligently, and facilitating enriching outings and educational trips that broaden their horizons. We are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and highly organized individual who can manage multiple tasks efficiently, maintain clear and consistent communication with parents, and handle unforeseen situations with calm professionalism and sound judgment. Your unwavering commitment to privacy, discretion, and maintaining a respectful boundary within the family home is absolutely paramount.
