We are looking for a warm, organised, reliable and trustworthy live-in nanny to care for our 2-year-old son and become a long-term part of our family.

We live in Malta but travel to Belgium, Spain and other european countries frequently, sometimes for longer stays, with occasional travel elsewhere in Europe. The role is primarily sole-charge during the working week, while we will generally take over childcare on weekends.

Role & Hours

Typical hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00am–6:00pm, with some flexibility required, particularly when travelling. Occasional evening or weekend support may be needed and will be arranged in advance.

Children's laundry and keeping his spaces tidy
Packing and organising his belongings when travelling
Light household help such as grocery shopping, folding laundry and loading/unloading the dishwasher

Cooking for our son is required. Cooking occasionally for the family would be a plus, but is not essential.

Travel & Accommodation

Regular travel is an important part of the role. We spend significant time in Malta and other European countries and would need someone who can travel with us.

The nanny will have a separate private studio attached to our home in Malta, providing full privacy and no commute. Private accommodation will also always be provided when travelling.

All necessary travel and living expenses while travelling will be covered by the family.
