Stellenbeschreibung
This nanny/housekeeper opening presents a permanent, full-time role with a monthly salary between R5 000 and R5 500. The position requires live-in, stay-in during weekdays and most weekends. An exception is one weekend off per month, to be agreed upon. Candidates should be ready to travel with the family on trips inside and occasionally outside the country; a valid passport is needed for this.
The role is ideal for applicants eager to work long-term and commit to a family in need of reliable and proactive support. You’ll be entrusted with caring for three children aged 6, 2, and 1, two of whom are home during the week. The job also involves household maintenance, deep cleaning duties, doing laundry, and preparing nutritious meals for the whole family.
The environment is rewarding yet demanding, designed for a hardworking candidate who enjoys both childcare and domestic work. It offers hands-on experience, travel exposure, and regular working hours with accommodation provided. Employment is in-person, and the expected start date is June 2025.
Tägliche Aufgaben
Your daily tasks will involve actively engaging with the three children—caring for them, stimulating their development with educational play, preparing age-appropriate meals, and ensuring the well-being of the youngest who are not in school. You’ll be responsible for morning routines, including preparing the eldest for school.
Educational activities such as reading, story-telling, counting, and encouraging outdoor play form an essential part of the work. Besides child-minding, executing deep cleaning of a three-bedroom apartment is required. Regular laundry and ironing will also be your responsibility.
You’ll organise and prepare nutritious meals, including making baby food, and offer support for ad hoc parental needs as they arise. The role occasionally includes accompanying the family on local and, potentially, international trips.
Vorteile des Jobs
One of the job’s key benefits is stability; it is a long-term, secure, permanent position. You’ll enjoy accommodation, which reduces living expenses, and the live-in aspect means no commute is necessary.
The chance to travel both locally and internationally adds variety to your work experience. Working in a family-focused environment can be personally rewarding for those seeking meaning in their daily work.
Challenges you may face
Being a stay-in role means personal privacy and downtime could be limited, especially with most weekends required for work. The position can be physically and emotionally demanding due to its childcare and cleaning components.
The expectations for flexibility—such as supporting parents as needs arise—require strong adaptability and a willingness to follow instructions closely. Additionally, the monthly salary range might not appeal to everyone.
Endgültiges Urteil
The Nanny/Housekeeper role is suited for trustworthy, energetic applicants who wish to dedicate themselves fully to a family while embracing a stable live-in opportunity. If you can juggle diverse tasks, love caring for children, don’t mind travel or a structured environment, this position has much to offer.
