About this role
Overview
Seeking an exceptional newborn care specialist for a gorgeous 8-week-old little girl, currently based in Europe. The family are keen to find a warm, professional and flexible candidate who can provide nurturing, collaborative support over the next 3-4 months. The role may move between Monaco and Geneva, so candidates familiar with, or already based in, those locations would be appreciated (they would prefer live-out support, but can also offer live-in as an option). Ideally the newborn care specialist would be supporting during daytime only, and the family are flexible around the person's availability - the role could be full-time but they will also consider part-time, too.

- Support the eventual weaning process, and help plan and prepare age-appropriate meals as the baby transitions to solids
- Maintain nursery spaces, including tidying play areas, ensuring a clean and organised environment, and manage baby-related supplies
- Ensure safe and healthy sleep practices
- Collaborate closely with parents to implement and adapt routines that support developmental milestones
Requirements
- Significant prior experience caring for infants, with verifiable references
- Highly organised, proactive, and pitch-in with your approach
- Comfortable working in a fully staffed environment, able to maintain discretion and professional boundaries
- Strong communication skills and exceptional attention to detail
- Calm, gentle and nurturing presence
