About the Role
We are seeking a dedicated child-development specialist to join our family—not as a temporary caregiver, but as a long-term partner in raising our child. This is a career-defining role for a nanny who views their work as a profession, not a job.
We are looking for an expert who will operate with autonomy and respect, designing enriching daily experiences while acting as a trusted extension of our household.

· Safety & Well-being: Maintain vigilant supervision at all times, uphold our family’s health and nutritional standards, and ensure a secure environment.
· Daily Logistics: Manage the child’s schedule, coordinate playdates, transport to and from activities, and ensure smooth daily routines.
· Child-Focused Household Support: Handle children’s laundry, prepare nutritious meals (breakfast, lunch, and snacks), and keep play areas clean and organized.
Who You Are
· Experienced: You have 1+ years of professional, verifiable nanny experience with excellent references.
· Proactive: You anticipate needs, offer creative solutions, and bring fresh ideas to the table without needing to be directed.
· A Strong Communicator: You believe in transparency, providing daily updates, photos, and milestone tracking to partner effectively with parents.
· Reliable & Professional: You are punctual, have a clean driving record, and are fully vaccinated.
· A Willingness to Relocate: This is a mandatory requirement. The successful candidate must be prepared to move to [Upington, NORTHERN CAPE] for this long-term position.
· Certification Advantage: While not required, possession of a valid CPR and First Aid certification is considered a strong advantage.
Why Join Us
· Guaranteed Hours & Weekly Pay: Enjoy financial stability with guaranteed weekly/monthly pay, rain or shine.
· Generous Time Off: Benefit from [X] days of Paid Time Off plus paid government holidays.
· Investment in Your Growth: We support your professional development—whether through covering new certifications or providing an annual stipend for continuing education.
