The Family

A warm and welcoming family in Marbella is urgently seeking an experienced and nurturing baby nanny to join their household. The role involves caring for a delightful 8-month-old baby girl who sleeps through the night (12 hours!), is a great eater with no allergies, and is currently mastering developmental milestones like sitting and crawling. She also has an older sibling with their own dedicated nanny, and fostering a positive bond between the two children is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain and follow the baby’s established routine, including naps, meals, and activities.
• Facilitate developmental activities appropriate for her age, encouraging milestones like sitting, crawling, and play with age-appropriate toys.
• Ensure the baby’s essentials are always stocked, including nappies, wipes, and clothing.
• Prepare and serve meals for the baby.
• Swim with the baby in the family’s indoor pool when needed.
• Transition the sleeping arrangement to eventually have your own room separate from the baby.
• Build a strong relationship with her sibling, encouraging shared activities and meals to foster a sense of family unity.
• Provide comfort when needed during the night but follow the family’s approach of encouraging self-soothing.

Requirements

• Experience: Extensive experience caring for babies and supporting developmental milestones.
• Personality: Mature, warm, attentive, and able to maintain a calm, nurturing environment.
• Skills: Strong organizational skills, ability to maintain routines, and a proactive approach to childcare.
• Swimming: Confident swimmer to accompany the baby in the pool.
• Passport: EU passport or residency permit necessary for ease of travel and compliance.

Additional Perks

• Currently sharing a room with the baby, although this will soon be phased out and the nanny will have her own private room.
• 24/7 security on-site – a helpful and supportive team ensures safety and peace of mind.
