Italy | Bilingual French/English-Speaking Rota Nanny | March Start Date
A French/American family based in Fiesole, near Florenz, Italy is looking for a French-speaking rota nanny, who is also bilingual in English. Knowledge of Italian is a bonus.
The nanny will be working on a 24h-basis, 2 weeks on/2 weeks off.
The mother is French and speaks French and English to the children. The father is American and speaks English and Italian. He speaks English to the children.
The family live in an Italian environment and Italian is also used/spoken.
The family has a residence in Fiesole, near Florenz. They also have properties in Rome and Venice. They often go to Paris and travel to Switzerland. They might travel further to the Maldives for instance. The rota nanny will travel with them.
The family has three boys: a 7-year-old who is trilingual and goes to an international school. He has his own nanny, a British lady who has been employed for the past 5 years.
There is also a 3-year-old who is currently at home but will go to school in September 2026. The nanny who looks after the 7-year-old also looks after the 3-year-old during week days. The rota nanny will be responsible for the 3-year-old too during the weekend.
The youngest boy was born in August 2025.
The family has employed a maternity nurse from the birth of the baby. She will leave end February 2026.
The rota nanny will share the room with the baby, unless the mother decides otherwise in the evening.
The prime responsibility of the rota nanny will be to look after the baby.
The rota nanny will be working on a 24/24 basis. She will be sleeping at night, either with the baby or not and will be given enough time during the day for her own personal needs.
Responsibilities:
This is a shared care position for the rota nanny. The mother is very involved in all decisions regarding her children.
The mother wants the nanny to understand and share her view about education.
The rota nanny will be responsible for the baby, including during mealtimes and bath time. She will ensure that sleeping and feeding routines are adhered to.
She will engage in age-appropriate play and activities.
If required, she will take him to appointments such as health clinics, doctors, or hairdressers.
She will ensure his welfare, safety, and happiness at all times while he is in her care and will work alongside the mother to provide a warm, fun, and safe environment.
The family would appreciate the nanny to be a driver. If not, a driver will be available.
When at home, the rota nanny will be required to wear an Italian-made, made-to-measure uniform. This is to protect the nanny’s own clothing and to support the baby’s wellbeing, as it ensures greater comfort for both the nanny and the baby.
Lodging, meals and transports are provided by the family.
Return flights are covered by the family.
However, the nanny must be able to book her own flights, taxis, etc. and will submit monthly expenses that will be reimbursed by the family.
The rota nanny must be self-employed in France. She will be responsible for her own taxes.
