Au Pair / Nanny (After-School Care)

Steady household work in a large estate home in Atlantis, with clear days and hours agreed upfront. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Atlantis; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
