Responsibilities
These will vary from job to
job. Some placements will be full time, usually 9am to 5pm, some
part time either morning or afternoon only. Some placements will be
a mixture of hours in the day or evening.
You will be looking
after children or babies, ages from 3 months to 13 years, in their
chalet or hotel, or will be asked to take them out to play in the
snow, meet with other nannies and children, or to meet with the
parents for lunch.
Some families might
ask you to take the children on a ride in a gondola or sledging
(safety first!). Sometimes you just have to take a toddler for a
nice stroll in town and a hot drink. Often your duty will be to pick
up from the ski school or kindergarten.You might be asked to carry
the children's skis if they are too tired.
If you play indoors
you will just have to be creative and use your imagination (we can
offer training on activities and care). You will prepare lunch and
snacks for the tired children. Mainly you will be carrying out
duties requested by the eager skiers who will be keen to go out and
leave you at home with their precious children, in the knowledge that
you will keep them happy and safe until they get back.
Merinannies encourage a
friendly but professional and courteous approach to the clients' needs.
Pay Rates/Hours of
work
The rates vary from
day to evening work and with your qualifications or experience.
You can earn around €700 per week
for a full time job. You also normally get a good tip if the
children are happy and the mothers too!
Merinannies offer a
flexible service so you will be able to work as much or as little as
you wish so that you can fit work around your skiing or boarding
requirements.
