Job Specification:
An experienced nanny is sought for a 12-month-old baby based in Riyadh, KSA. The role will focus exclusively on caring for the 12-month-old, with a maternity nurse employed for the newborn, due in April 2025.

- Provide comprehensive care for the 12-month-old, including preparing breakfast and managing a structured daily routine.
- Organise age and stage-appropriate activities to promote holistic development.
- Support healthy sleep hygiene and ensure emotional well-being.
- Maintain cleanliness and organisation of the child’s living and play areas.
- Collaborate with the family and domestic staff to meet the baby’s needs.
- Travel to the family’s second property in London for holidays, as needed.

- At least 5 years of experience as a nanny in a private household.
- Strong knowledge of early childhood development and creating safe, stimulating environments.
- Qualification in child development, Level 3 DCE or NVQ preferred.
- Recent experience caring for babies is essential.
