Job Description
We are seeking a compassionate, responsible, and experienced Nanny to provide exceptional child care for a loving family located in Ketu, Lagos. This is a unique opportunity for an individual who is passionate about child development and creating a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for children. As a live-in nanny, you will become an integral part of the household, providing comprehensive care and support while enjoying the comfort and convenience of room and board.
Your primary responsibility will be the well-being and development of the children, engaging them in age-appropriate educational activities, creative play, and outdoor adventures. We are looking for someone who can foster curiosity, encourage learning, and maintain a consistent routine that supports the children’s growth and happiness. This role requires excellent communication skills to liaise effectively with parents regarding the children’s daily activities, progress, and any concerns. You will be expected to manage the children’s schedules, including school pickups/drop-offs (if applicable), meal preparation, and bedtime routines.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate a proactive approach to childcare, ensuring a clean and organized environment for the children, and handling light household duties related to the children’s needs. Safety is paramount, so a keen eye for detail and a strong understanding of child safety protocols are essential. We value a nanny who can bring positive energy, creativity, and a genuine love for children into our home, someone who sees this role as more than just a job, but as an opportunity to build meaningful relationships and contribute significantly to a family’s life. If you are reliable, energetic, and dedicated to providing the highest standard of child care, we encourage you to apply and become a cherished member of our family’s support system.
