A warm, professional family is seeking an experienced Live-in Maternity Nanny to support them through the birth and first three to five months of their first child’s life.

The position will begin shortly before the baby is due in mid-November. The nanny will work Monday to Friday on a 24-hour live-in basis, with weekends covered by the parents or a secondary nanny.

Mum will be present and involved throughout the early postpartum period. The family is looking for a knowledgeable and emotionally warm maternity professional who can offer reassurance, establish healthy routines and provide exceptional newborn care while working collaboratively with the parents.

We are recruiting separately for both the initial 3–5-month Maternity Nanny position in Cincinnati and the permanent Career Nanny role in Berlin. Candidates may apply for either position individually; however, it would be a significant advantage if one candidate were able and willing to undertake both roles, providing continuity of care as the family relocates from Cincinnati to Berlin.

• Maintain the nursery, clothing and baby-related belongings.
• Plan appropriate sensory activities and early developmental experiences.
• Accompany the baby to appointments and outings.
• Communicate openly with the parents regarding routines, development and milestones.
• Work collaboratively with the parents and weekend support.

• Minimum of five years’ professional nanny experience.
• Extensive newborn and infant-care experience.
• Previous Maternity Nanny experience or a recognised maternity qualification.
• Strong knowledge of feeding, sleep, newborn routines and early development.
• Confident working alongside involved first-time parents.
• Fluent English.

• Non-smoker.
• Discreet, professional, adaptable and emotionally warm.
• Excellent references and willingness to undergo comprehensive background checks.
