Job Description
Divine Caregivers, a leading provider of dedicated home care and household staffing solutions in Abuja, is delighted to partner with a warm and loving family in Jikwoyi, Abuja, seeking an exceptional Live-in Nanny and Childcare Specialist. This is a unique opportunity for a dedicated and compassionate professional to become an integral part of a household, providing comprehensive care and fostering a positive, stimulating environment for two delightful children, aged 3 and 7.
The chosen candidate will be responsible for creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging atmosphere that supports the children’s physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. We are looking for someone who brings not just experience, but a genuine passion for childcare, a proactive approach, and an understanding of age-appropriate activities and developmental milestones. This role goes beyond supervision; it involves becoming a trusted caregiver who encourages learning through play, healthy habits, and positive discipline.
The daily routine will involve school drop-offs and pick-ups for the elder child, engaging the younger child in educational play, preparing nutritious meals and snacks tailored to the children’s preferences and dietary needs, and ensuring their personal hygiene. Beyond the basics, you will be expected to plan and execute stimulating activities, including arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading sessions, and excursions to local parks or child-friendly attractions. Light housekeeping pertaining to the children’s areas, such as tidying playrooms, organizing clothes, and maintaining their bedrooms, will also be part of your duties.
