Live‑In Nanny / Family Assistant

Location: Germany
Start Date: Flexible, ideally as soon as the right person is available.
Contract: Full‑time, long‑term position
Salary: €60,000 gross per annum + separate accommodation

A warm, professional family based in Germany is seeking an experienced live‑in Nanny / Family Assistant to join their household on a long‑term basis. This is a varied and rewarding role combining high‑quality childcare with family assistant and light household support. A sporty, energetic nanny- family assistant is important to them, as they are a very sporty, active household, and they think a good fit will lead to a long term placement, which is what they are looking for. The daughter does a lot of sports after school and the son competes in competitions regularly.

Eligibility Requirements

• EU passport or unrestricted right to work in Germany (essential)
  
• Fluent English is essential; German is highly desirable (English fluency is the priority)
  
• Confident driver with a valid licence
  

The Family

The family has two children:

• A boy aged 14
  
• A girl aged 7 (turning 7 by the end of the summer)
  

Both children attend school full‑time. The parents have demanding professional lives: the mother works from home three days per week and travels for work two days per week, while the father travels frequently. The family is friendly, respectful, and values long‑term relationships— their current nanny has been with them for five years.

Grandparents live nearby and a trusted cleaner attends once per week.

The Role

This is a live‑in, five‑day‑per‑week position with flexibility required. The role is best suited to someone who enjoys being a true family assistant and is happy to “muck in” where needed.

Key responsibilities include:

• Primarily caring for the younger child, including school runs and afternoon activities
  
• Supporting both children with routines and ensuring homework is completed
  
• Proxy parenting on occasion, including some evenings and occasional weekends (always with notice)
  
• Light household support such as:
  • Laundry
    
  • Occasional cooking
    
  • General household organisation
    
• Assisting with childcare logistics when the parents are travelling
  
• Occasional travel within Europe when the family is organising events
  

There is significant downtime during the day while the children are at school, making this an excellent role for someone seeking balance alongside responsibility.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will be:

• Energetic, active, and outdoors‑loving
  
• Sporty and creative, with an interest in arts and crafts
  
• Musical (or at least music‑friendly), as the children have regular music practice
  
• Confident around animals (the family has horses and dogs)
  
• Organised, reliable, and proactive
  
• Warm, calm, and capable of managing responsibility independently
  

A positive attitude, flexibility, and genuine enjoyment of family life are essential.

Accommodation

The nanny/family assistant will have their own private annexe, offering complete independence and privacy. This includes:

• Private entrance
  
• Kitchen
  
• Bedroom
  
• Lounge/living area
  

The family provides access to two cars and a bicycle.

Package

• €60,000 gross per annum
  
• Separate, high‑quality accommodation provided
  
• Long‑term employment with a respectful and appreciative family
  
• Stable working environment with clear expectations and support
